Update: I've tried writing isos to different usb sticks and loading them on different computers (mac and pc even for fun), and I even tried the previous iso versions... but I keep getting the same kinds of problems!   Jaap, have you had any luck making them work?

Thanks,
Matt

No, that doesn't matter since the imaging will overwrite anything that's there.

The ACPI errors may be unrelated to the system not booting since it's not able to mount the root partition. The ACPI errors are more likely hardware related; googling reveals some inconclusive results about upgrading to a newer kernel version...

Could you try booting the USB drive on a different computer and see if you get the same error messages?

If I have time tomorrow, I can see if I can write the image to a USB drive and test myself.

Best,
Jaap
