It has many peculiarities, so, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer to my

How about disabling ACPI entirely, acpi=off on kernel command line? I wouldn't
be surprised to see a lot of ACPI stuff broken on an older machine like that..


See above - it's an SMP.

On a machine that old, you shouldn't need ACPI to detect both CPUs, itshould be able to use MPS..
