good to hear you got it going, acpi off was one of the many things i 
tried on my acer one aspire and i just couldn't get it to go, it always 
froze at loading plymouth, thankfully the fedora xfce packager kevin 
fenzi knocked up a newer spin to use and it worked perfectly so i have 
f11 beta installed on 11 acer one's and it's running well so far :)

just for completeness kevins spin is available here >>
