The Linux kernel's ACPI/APIC/IO-APIC support appears to be in a serious state of flux. Unfortunately, I do not think there is any combination of enabling/disabling these things which will work on all systems. My instinct is to enable all of them and wait for the Linux folks to get the kinks out, sending them bug reports when possible. So, please try disabling ACPI. To do this, hold down the shift key while the Unattended CD is booting. This will give you a "boot:" prompt. Type "unattended acpi=off" and press Enter. And let me know what happens.
