windows vista installation stop error acpi

Recently I received my Windows Vista Beta 2 (5384) DVD from Microsoft. I tried both methods for installing (DVD-boot and from Windows XP). DVD-boot method gives me an ACPI Compatibility error. I have an ASUS M6N laptop and there seems to be (from what I have read on the net) a known error with Windows Vista and this particular laptop.
I'm wondering if this issue is known at Microsoft and what the reason is why Windows XP works perfectly on this laptop and why Windows Vista doesn't.
With kind regards.

Because Windows Vista drivers work differently than XP drivers. ASUS needs to write new drivers or possibly a BIOS update for Windows Vista.
