Just noticed in summary

>>+ Unable to boot system in EFI unless acpi=off & "quiet splash"
deleted<<

I am unable to boot the system even if acpi=off and "quiet splash" is
deleted from grub.

As soon as I hit F10 from the edit screen to continue with boot the
screen goes blank and all USB stick activity appears to stop.  Have let
it it sit up to 30 minutes in this state with no change.

Thanks

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
