In the grub menu you can edit the entries to run these special parameters.
I found a blog here which explains this process. Don't forget to back up these files first!
"You come in on your own in this life, you know you leave on your own" - Richard Ashcroft
You will want to add those options to /boot/grub/menu.list where it says "# defoptions" and "# altoptions"
Do the edit, save and close, then runCode:sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Code:sudo update-grub

You can't edit the menu.lst file until you are in Ubuntu. It can be done from the LiveCD, but there isn't much point if it won't boot with the options entered manually in GRUB are not working. Are you sure you are adding them in the right place from GRUB? It should look similar to
Note that there is no space between acpi, =, and off. If you delete the "quiet" part you can see where it is hanging during the boot sequence.Code:kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=30fcb748-ad1e-4228-af2f-951e8e7b56df ro splash quiet acpi=off noapic nolapic

You should make sure to add them to "# defoptions" and "# altoptions" like I said earlier because if an update comes around for GRUB or a new kernel is added, menu.lst will be regenerated and won't save the options you tagged on to the end of the kernel lines.
