You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I attempted to install ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer TravelMate 8200, without
success. Initially I would just get a black/blank screen after having
chosen install language English and attempting to "Install Ubuntu".

Then I added the boot options "nosplash noquiet radeon.modeset=0" and could debug the problem, whereupon I discovered the following error:
"firewire_ohci failed to link power status"

I couldn't find any way to disable loading of firewire (1394), so I was
forced to abort installation of 12.04 and had to install 11.10, which
went totally fine, without problems, on the same laptop.

WORKAROUND: blacklist=firewire_ohci
