noacpi,acpi=off kernel options

[Mark Haney]

It seems with the newer kernels these options no longer work, or there's 
some syntactical change that is killing my kernels on boot.  I have one 
server here that just refuses to play nice with ACPI.  It won't cut the 
fan on/off and it fills up my log and eventually the HDD.  So normally I 
use something like this:

title Fedora (2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686)
         root (hd0,2)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 ro 
root=UUID=9f669bab-aff8-4855-aa5f-c683bf60744a noacpi,acpi=off
         initrd /initrd-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686.img

In grub, but for some reason when I boot with this kernel it hang every 
time until I remove the noacpi,acpi=off options.

So, what's the correct option(s) for shutting off acpi on boot now?
