I don't know what the reason is that you have acpi disabled, there might be a good reason. If you want to experiment you could make a copy of the current boot line in grub (and give it the same title plus "with acpi" for example) and remove the acpi=off option. When you reboot the computer you can select that option to see how that goes. If all goes well you could make that the default boot option.

What should I do to turn acpi ON ?
I checked BIOS settings and acpi was enabled

Vishwa, try booting your kernel with acpi=on option. You can edit your grub conf file to add the option to the kernel line. Google it if any confusion.

But let me warn you, if your hardware does not like the acpi=on setting, it may fail to boot and you may have to boot into failsafe and take it out. So do this only if you are comfortable into booting into rescue/failsafe mode.

Remove the 'acpi=off' from the kernel commandline. (But keep a backup as they say -- acpi may have been disabled because it didn't work for you!)

Edited grub.conf file where acpi=off was changed to acpi=on..
