Currently using Xubuntu Feisty. Yeah, I know it's beta, but the last kernel 
update in Edgy caused my system to fall-down-go-boom, so I figured I'd go 
for it. Anyway, if I boot with option ACPI=OFF, the system will hang during 
shutdown, but reboot correctly. If I boot with option ACPI=FORCE, the system 
will hang during reboot, but shut down correctly. If I use neither option, 
the system will hang during either reboot or shutdown.

Come to think of it, this situation is actually better than in Edgy, where 
the system would kernel panic with ACPI=OFF, and hang on either reboot or 
shutdown with either ACPI=FORCE or neither option.

Anyway, any ideas? Thanks.
