The options for acpi are either on or off. I'm not sure if no, yes, 0 or 
1 will work.
 
I'm not experienced with diagnosing memory address and initializing 
calls. It looks to me that this is related to the agp video card. Have 
you tried to either remove one of the video cards or disabling one from 
BIOS?  If both are being attempted to be installed, maybe one is trying 
to use the same hardware parameters as the other video card.

This is just a wild guess.

Your true value depends entirely on what you are compared with.
