Can you try a CD from another distro, such as Knoppix? Most likely, this is a kernel issue.

Ok, so it's likely hitting the same issue, which means this is an upstream kernel problem. There's nothing we can do about this until the next release.

Can you see if this is still an issue for you with 2008.0 Beta 1?

It works when acpi=off kernel argument is used.
