Almost all of my latest hardware (Athlon through Celeron D) has needed "acpi=off" when I boot Live CDs. After I boot the live CD a few times, I usually elect to install and from then on, I've never had acpi problems as my systems would boot and run very well - I never edit grub. My current grub boot says "noapic".
