I am having an incredibly hard time trying to get Ubuntu (or any distro) to install on my laptop.
I've put a more thorough description of what I've tried here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/67507...cer-aspire-e15
but the long and short of it is that when I try to install Ubuntu on my laptop in legacy mode (trying to do it in UEFI mode just gives me a black screen), I get an error that reads "ACPI: Unable to load description tables" and if I try to install it in verbose mode it hangs on "can't find IRQ for PCI INT A: probably buggy MP table"
I have updated my BIOS to the latest release but no luck, and I've tried installing with acpi=off and then I just get a blank white screen with a blinking cursor.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire E 15 E5-573G
i5-5200U
Nvidia GeForce 940m
Any help? I've been banging my head against this for three days now.
