I'm guessing that the ACPI interpreter is failing (it's very strict, according to what I heard). According to osdev.org, the ACPI tables seem to be very complex. Couldn't we just...

I think I figured out why some OSes don't work when ACPI is enabled. It's not the emulator's fault (although it might be -- you never know). Early OSes have...
