On a whim decided to disable ACPI in bios, didn't think this would do much, because as i recall most linux distros's ignore much the bios settings, could be wrong about that. I saved the settings and rebooted, and much to my surprise 3.7 booted.

    Here is the output of my boot.log

    Make of this what you will but it is booting. Just thought it may be relevant.
    Good find! I just tried the same Lubuntu disc that had earlier failed on me and used the acpi=off boot parameter as shown here:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions

    Success

    The screen resolution is too low but that may even be a different issue. It's adequate to allow installation though, after which I could fiddle with the nVidia drivers

    i was looking for some help but can't find any.
    long ago i gave up on installing ubuntu on any amd cpu computer,why? because they gave me nothing but problems....
    yesterday someone gave me a dell pc with an amd athlon x2 cpu and nvidia chipset with 2g of ram and inmediatly i downloaded my 64bit iso of the day and proceed to test it,for man sake,this amd's cpu continue to be the crap they have always been,there is no way i could run that daily build in this machine and this is something i do daily on my intel rig.i will never ever use an amd pc for my self with any other os that windows,they are crap to me,my own opinion OK,hehehehe in the other hand i continue to have crashes at all time with 64bit but 32bit runs smooth,so i am giving up on 64bit for now until RR is released and then i'll see.....happy testing....
    hey do you need an amd pc? is outside by the curve if you make it before the garbage truck by 6:00 am today 02/01/2013 hehehehehehe....1 hour left...

    Re: Kernel 3.7 and AMD cpu's

    I've been running Acer Aspire 5253 with amd64 for the last couple of years on a variety of Ubuntu's up to 3.8.0-2, linux mint, debian, ... most of the time running fine, 32 bit and 64 bit.

    Biggest difficulty has been installing an ubuntu on a USB hard drive with the Acer. It will boot and run from the USB where I test Ubuntu's, but attempts to install to the USB screw everything up. Grub goes into a mess particularly Grub 2. "Don't install onto USB from the Acer amd64!".

    In times past I had a Windows 7 hard drive and installing onto the USB hard drive I couldn't boot anything. Easy to remove the Windows 7 hard drive to sve it and put in another one for testing.

    So I do the installs on USB plugged into intel netbook and tower with no problem whatsoever. Once installed somewhere else they will run fine on the amd64.

    With no USB hard drive, the Acer amd64 installs and runs various 32 bit and 64 bit linux's fine.

    Just nicer on my Intel netbook and tower I can install several linux on USB hard drive for testing etc.

    I just love taking those roadside tosses and bringing them back from the shredders teeth

    I have been lucky so far with AMD athlon 2x acer extensa 4420 64bit. Also an AMD 32 bit 1.2 GHz..
