BIOS ACPI Error message when installing OS on MSI-Z370-A PRO
Solution 1
Solved the problem, sorry that I didn't post any updates.
The error appears because the ACPI option -unlike Windows- is not implemented in Ubuntu (17.04 at least).
You need to turn the acpi flag off from the grub; At boot screen, hit 'e' key, you will be redirected to the grub menu, add:
acpi=off
at the end of the linux /vmlinuz line. After that save the new settings and re-boot with cntrl + X and resume the installation.
This will work out assuming that the Secure Boot is disabled.
(I am setting this post as solved)
Solution 2
I had the same problem as you with a similar system trying to install Xubuntu 16.04. I was able to solve it by following these steps:
- Go to GRUB menu and press 'e' while highlighting the
Install Xubuntu
option. - Add
nomodeset acpi_osi=
afterquiet splash
(line starting withlinux
). - Press CTRL+x or F10 to boot.

I was able to install Xubuntu afterwards. However, after the installation I was only seeing a black screen. That problem was likely caused by a missing GPU driver. The following steps worked for me:
- Go to GRUB menu and press 'e' while highlighting
Ubuntu
(the one that usually boots the just installed Xubuntu/Ubuntu). - Replace
quiet splash
withnomodeset
. - Press CTRL+x or F10 to boot.
- Install the missing (Nvidia) drivers.

I got a brand new MSI Z370-A PRO PC with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and 1151 Socket. Currently, the hard drive is empty, when I try booting OS installation from an external medium (either USB or CD), I got this error:
Error text:
[ 0.161354] ACPI Error: [_SB_.PCI0.RP05.PXSX] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/dswload2-191) [ 0.161360] ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20160930/psobject-227) [ 0.161362] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.RP04.PXSX] (Node ffff89d3edcd85f0), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) [ 0.161572] ACPI Error: [_SB_.PCI0.RP09.PXSX] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/dswload2-191) [ 0.161574] ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20160930/psobject-227) [ 0.161576] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.RP08.PXSX] (Node ffff89d3edcd9500), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543)
After a few searches, I learnt that I need to disable the ACPI option from the BIOS; however, the only available option is 'LED/Blinking' which is not helpful (screen shot below ↓↓↓)
(Sorry for the invisible text menu.)
As you can see from the screen capture; the current version has no support for flashing (Flash-M) and with the BIOS refusing to recognize all first-order media, I'll be grateful if anyone could direct me into a solution that can successfully make a USB/CD/DVD boot possible.

G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' over 6 yearsYour transcription of the first screen image is wrong — it goes straight from the fifth timestamp to the sixth line, and there is at least one obvious typo. Please fix and double-check.

tmn about 6 yearsTrue, this workaround does not fix the error, but it -temporarily- solved the problem in hand. Thanks for your input.
