Doing so messed up my audio card and my wired lan, which is why I don't like acpi=off. Appearently, booting works when the external power cord is unplugged, a lot of peolple said, it worked for them. Addiionally, removing the "quiet" option in the boot menue also solves the issue, and to my mind this is the best workaround thus far. Simply remove the "quiet" option in /boot/grub/menu.lst, that seemed to work for everybody. There seems to be a workaround that does not involve turning acpi off.
