im having the same problem on an asus pro61s laptop running 10.10, it will boot with acpi=off or pci=noacpi, so i installed using this method, but still have to boot with one of these options,I've installed all ubuntu updates and upgraded to the latest bios, but no change. it seems to run ok in this mode on the desktop but once you load a program e.g. firefox, the pointer for the touchpad becomes jerky, i haven't tried it with a usb mouse yet. I'm guessing it is to do with the sis chipset or the ati graphics as some of the windows display like their in 256 colours.
