Bug description:
This is on a Macbook, late 2008 model.  

Steps to reproduce:

1.) Burn an ISO of the Jaunty LiveCD or the alternate installer.
2.) Boot from CD and attempt to start the installer.
3.) See error message "[5.499...] Not responding", followed by a black screen. 

Temporary work around:

1.) Disable ACPI before starting the installer using the kernel flag 'acpi=off'.
