Title:
  Ubuntu not booting on iMac 5K with ACPI enabled

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With a 27in 5k ( new as of two weeks ago) I'm unable to boot. The
  applies to both the live installer and a system installed on disk. I
  just get a blank screen. It gives a blank screen event if the "quiet"
  is removed from the kernel parameters. The system has a 250G SSD. I'm
  using the Kubutu live installer for Wily off a USB stick.

  WORKAROUND: Use kernel parameters:
  acpi=off nomodeset
