The first 2 lines are only there once, so I figure they may be of some importance. I'm going to try booting with the option=noacpi and see if that does anything. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions, please reply! :) Thanks! I tried booting with the appended option above, but it didn't change anything. I'm actually going to remove that tuner until I can get this problem fixed. Any suggestions are welcome.
