A machine with this /boot/grub/grub.conf should for sure not boot with "acpi=off". The only idea I have left is that your install is messed up with regards to /boot as a partition or as part of /. In any way grub does not read the file above when it boots. So what does it read on your machine... Maybe you could try a:
find / -name grub.conf
/Peter
As you can see there's no mentioning of "acpi=off" anywhere .... and unless I stop it and change the command line parameter from acpi=off to pci=nommconf it still boots with acpi=off ... :-(
