To test things like this, you know you can interrupt Grub at boot and
by using 'e' you can edit a boot entry so you can add options like
this to test. Rather than edit something in to grub.conf that later
prevents system from booting I mean.

Running with ACPI off on most modern systems is going to pose
problems. While you can try it, I would caution that it likely will
not work very well, if at all.

What rationale do you have for thinking it was ACPI that caused the
problem? :)
