+<h3>
+<a name="noacpi">Installation -- ACPI Disabled</a>
+</h3>
+
+<p>
+Current hardware usually requires ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
+to control the interrupt handling.
+ACPI completely replaces the old APM system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Select <em>Installation -- ACPI Disabled</em> if you encounter
+problems during boot of the kernel. Known problems with machines that
+have problems with ACPI are:
+<ul>
+ <li>kernel freezes when booting</li>
+ <li>PCI Cards are not detected or initialized properly</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You may also try the <a href="#firmware">Firmware Test</a> boot option
+and look at the test results of the ACPI validation.
+</p>
