Hi Joseph, You can disable the ACPI module in the boot process. When you see the message "Hit enter or wait 10 seconds to boot" press enter and type:
unset acpi_load boot This way, the installation will happen without load the module ACPI. Hope this helps.

I don't know what else I can do, unless there is a way to install without acpi somehow. Joseph Hello how would I disable acpi? I do not know what it goes to in the bios.

Can you disable acpi in you bios? If yes, try booting without acpi. Or maybe you can disable some modules in the boot loader menu (but im not sure about that). > I have tried 4.2, 4.4, 4.7. and 5.0 releases all lock in the same place.
