Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24

My laptop as of 2008/01/20 no longer boots correctly without the
"acpi=off" kernel parameter.  Strangely, up until this point the laptop
would boot just fine without this parameter, I don't recall a kernel
update on that day, and previous kernels which used to work now require
this parameter.  I tested 2.6.24-4-generic, 2.6.24-3-generic,
2.6.22-14-generic.  All of these kernels used to work without "acpi=off"
and now all fail without it (which makes me suspect it's a initramfs-
tools problem, but filing here because I'm not sure).

When trying the various options suggested on 
«https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI» with the 2.6.24-4-generic kernel there 
is a common prefix to the terminal output, which I'll attach as a screenshot.  
Additionally, some options produce a single extra line of output which I'll 
replicate here:
acpi=ht         Works, but strangely - many of the later-starting daemons (hal, 
hddtemp, gdm) fail to start automatically
pci=noacpi   Fails: output ends with "Setting ELCR to 0ab8 (from 08b8)"
acpi/noirq     Fails: output ends with "Setting ELCR to 0ab8 (from 08b8)"
pnpacpi=off  Fails: no additional output
noapic          Fails: output ends with "Setting ELCR to 0200 (from 08b8)"
nolapic         Fails: output ends with "Setting ELCR to 0200 (from 08b8)"
