Hello all. I was having trouble getting beyond the options screen when trying to install Natty a1 from a live CD. This was solved by setting acpi=off, (F6 at options list) during install. This necessitates editing the grub menu at boot & adding acpi=off to the Linux line. To avoid editing at every boot the etc/default/grub also needs to be edited: acpi=off in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" line. (Added between the quotes at the end of the line).
Of course, this means no battery charge indicator on a laptop. (My machine also required the power button to be pushed in order to shut down properly). I went back to 10.10 & did a release upgrade, which went well. However I could not boot into Lubuntu with the 2.6.37-10 kernel without setting acpi=off again (as above). Booting the 2.6.35-23 kernel has solved all of the issues I've mentioned (up to now).
