I have the exact same problem on my Acer 1681. It hangs on "Loading ACPI modules". The slow booting can be solved though, by deleting everything except the lo part in /etc/network/interfaces. Make sure your interfaces file only contains:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback -- Feisty stops booting at "Loading ACPI modules" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
