Update,

I had a bad USB stick so -

With machine BIOS updated to the latest version -

I am not able to boot the machine in EFI with any flavor of Ubuntu back
to 12.04, up to and including yesterday's (9/6/2013) build of Saucy.

With BIOS set to Legacy I AM able to boot the machine into any flavor of
Ubuntu up to and including yesterday's (9/6/2013) build of Saucy, with
no extra work involved - it works as designed.

Thanks!

Title:
  Unable to boot system unless acpi=off & "quiet splash" deleted from
  grub

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  MSI notebook, Model GT70-0NC-008US; tag under the battery shows GT70
  -0NC-494US Am not running as a dual boot install. I unable to boot
  this system unless acpi=off and "quiet splash" is deleted from grub. I
  am running this as the only OS, NOT a dual boot. I am able to boot,
  install and run 12.04 Precise 64 bit on this system, BIOS in legacy
  mode for install and running from HDD. Following steps in Debugging
  ACPT - Ubuntu Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI) I have
  updated to the latest BIOS on the box.

  WORKAROUND: Use legacy boot mode.

  WORKAROUND: With 12.10 installed to HDD tried booting with all options
  given in the Wiki and with acpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted, system
  boots ok and into usable environment.

  With acpi=noirq and "quiet splash" deleted system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line:
  [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9

  With pnpacpi=off and "quiet splash" deleted system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above:
  [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9

  With noapic and "quiet splash" deleted, system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above:
  [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9

  With nolapic and "quiet splash" deleted, system starts to boot and stops with the following as last line, same as above:
  [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: 0x9904: Init table command not found: 0xA9

  In the troubleshooting steps I was unable to suspend or hibernate the
  system so am unable to supply a /var/log/kern.log.0 file.

  I am unable to include a tarball of /proc/acpi directory as that
  directory doesn't exist.
