We are launching a line of PCs with Ubuntu preinstalled. We ordered several of them from clevo/sager, and they came with the "vista-limited" phoenix bios, which disables ACPI/APIC in linux. After plenty of hell raising, we determined that the manufacturer can actually go into their "special" bios configuration and change a change a minor setting that fixes this problem entirely. All ACPI functions are fully operational now, on the EXACT SAME BIOS. We discovered the fix which they would like to keep secret when we started asking how they could offer XP preinstalled on the same hardware as vista, when this same problem manifests when trying to install xp. So, I don't know how they do it, but they can. Hope this helps. Contact me directly if you need any further information. Like I said, I don't know how, but it IS POSSIBLE TO FIX IT.
