Thanks. What I meant is that I thought distributions are enabling ACPI by

I entered a bug report under ACPI on the kernel bugzilla:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4442
containing the relevant information. It looks like booting with 'noapic'
on the command line will be an acceptable workaround for now.
