Shutdown and restart issues with 11.04

Asked by Werner

I've installed 11.04 64bit on an HP G42 AMD Athlon Dual Core P340. Shutdown doesn't turn off the machine and restarts stays on the same situation. I've tried some suggestion like changing quite splash by force.. related to acpi but none of them did work
Appreciate any further suggestions

I've installed kubuntu which has an install option to disable acpi, which work perfectly to fix this issue. After that I installed a list of 160 updates, acouple related to acpi which brought the issue back.
The question is how to disable acpi?
thanks
