FWIW, I need the patch below to stop ACPI freezing at boot on Asus S1300N.
There is a BIOS update from Asus, but no mention of any fixes in ACPI,
so as I have no means to backup the BIOS in case something goes wrong
I didn't do the update.
I found out (by putting printks in the initialization code) that a
call to INI (whatever it is) of VGA_ (whatever this is) immediately
freezes the notebook and the fan goes on shortly afterwards.
