I have this problem on a new Toshiba Satellite L500 with AMD Turion
Ultra II x2 and ATI Mobility Radeon 4100 graphics.  Can only boot 9.10
64-bit Ubuntu LiveCD or installed 9.10 64-bit Ubuntu OS if use acpi=off.
Otherwise it will freeze with message "acpi:lnxvideo:' unexpected exit
with status 0x0009".

Tried the following and they all do NOT fix the problem:
 - noapic
 - nolapic
 - uninstall splash screens
 - upgraded to kernel version 2.6.31

It's very frustrating because without acpi I don't get any battery
monitor & various other power management things that are important for
using laptop.  Also I'd like to point out that if I weren't an
experienced Linux user I wouldn't have known to try fiddling with the
acpi options, or how to edit grub2 menu so that's the default.  A
"normal" user would have been completely at a loss here and thus might
come away with a bad first impression of Ubuntu if they tried it on
these new Satellite laptops, so I hope you are able to fix the problem
soon.
