Thank you Mathieu. As described below, I managed to solve this problem.
However, when I'll install Gutsy, if I'll have more booting problems
I'll try your hints!
---
I have to apologyse with developers and you, but my troubles depended on
my mistakes.
During my tests with Gutsy live cd, I used to hard-reboot when it hanged after
booting. I did like this because I already tried several times with fiesty, and
when my cd drive stopped spinning because of acpi trobules, this meant it just
freezed.
Now, I accidentally found out that if I leave it loading more, after a couple
of minutes my cd drive starts spinning again and, even if very slowly, the
gnome session begins. So I investigated booting without kernel options like
"quite" or "splash", and I found out that gutsy stopped because it was looking
for a floppy drive that I don't have, but that is indeed set on Bios.
So I removed the floppy drive from bios and now my gutsy cd live loads
perfectly. Just, I must say, it's really slow to load.
More, this means that Gutsy live cd, differently from Feisty, can boot
without acpi=off, and in fact, if I halt my system from gnome, surprise
surprise... the system halts!
So, this is not at all a backward step with acpi, but a forward one! Now
my mainboard is acpi supported by ubuntu! (at least on live cd... ;) )
So, at least on my side, this problem is "solved".
Next week I will format and install gutsy, I really hope everything will work
even after installation.
thanks everybody and, again, my apologyses.
bye!
