I believe you need to add acpi=off in the grub.conf file. I have the 
opposite problem, I cannot boot without acpi. See grub entry for the 
flipside.

title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.1155_FC4)
         root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.1155_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 acpi=on 3

With the longer volume number, the line is wrapped.

acpi=off
