[Bug 191871] Re: Live CD won't install on Acer Aspire 3050-1922

Michele.
This problem appears to be in other distros too. Its something wrong with the linux kernel
I switched to arch linux... This problem is still there. But its not the hardest thing to fix. 
You need to find a custom DSDT file that is made for your laptop and tell the kernel to use it.
I was able to get ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop by telling it to boot with 'acpi=off noapic'.  After it installed I was able to compile my dsdt and tell the kernel to use it. Then I restarted and everything worked fine. I ended up switching to Arch Linux. I wanted to have a speedier and more customizable system. The arch linux installer asks you for a DSDT if you wish. Its kinda nice.

I would suggest looking on the ubuntu fourms for a DSDT fit for your
laptop and how to compile and enable it.
