Same here, but if I wait long enough, 3 minutes or more, I see:

WARNING: Autodetection seems to hang,
please check your computers BIOS settings

then booting continues normally.

I disconected the monitor from the video card (radeon 9250)and plug into onboard video change the bios and it it booted up just fine with acpi=off.
