That is very nice of you to report everything you did to get Trisquel working
on your computer. However, I believe some of the steps are useless. I am
pretty sure the newest kernel can be installed from the chroot environment
(jxself?):
Boot up Live system. "Try Trisquel without Installing", with the F6
"acpi=off" option enabled.
Install Trisquel (the default partitioning scheme is OK).
Once the installation over, make sure you have an Internet connection (plug
an Ethernet cable if necessary) and chroot into the new Trisquel system as
described here (until the chroot command):

sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freesh/archive-key.asc
sudo apt-key add archive-key.asc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-libre64 (linux-libre32 if the 32 bit system was
installed)
sudo update-grub
Reboot and enjoy!
