Ubuntu On a MacBook 

Was trying to install a dual boot osx/ubuntu 11.04 on my old macbook. ubuntu had all kinds of problems until I found that I needed to turn off ACPI. Once i did that everything was good. In one of the early menus, you have that option. I think it's F6 or settings, and then it is the first setting. Make sure there is an X there (it is kind of odd - does the X enable or disable? Who knows just make sure that is there)

And once everything is installed, you will need to edit your kernel line of the grub conf and add acpi=off
