Dave, RSDP (Root System Description Pointer) is the ACPI module in any Unice.. it sounds like maybe your system is too old for this (this is a blind guess type of system will better help with the diagnosis :-) ) Anyhow there are several boot options on any new (k)ubuntu boot disk, using acpi=off. Again though ... this is guessing that the system is "older"..
