You might have to. Simplest way is to login, open a terminal window, su
and edit /boot/grub/grub.conf

You will see a boot line (looks something like Kernel-2.6.16.2069_FC4
rhgb quiet). Add the line noacpi (or whatever command you used to get
the software to install), save and boot. Any updates to the kernel will
automatically inherit this command.

----------------------------------- 

I am doing the install now, thanks.  When I checked the install grub
customization option, it had already put in the acpi=off on the boot
line.  I am also installing using the gui.  So far so good.  Up to disk
2.

Thanks..
