I purchased a ~Rs 30K HP/Compaque TU2202 laptop. At the time of installation I had to put put off acpi for proper installation. Later on I have put a kernel parameter option for acpi and it works fine.
I have found that most of the laptops/desktops acpi related issues seem to give trouble since apparently many of the BIOSes do not have proper ACPI support. You may want to look at that aspect.
