Yes, it was the restricted modules package version, I was pretty tired yesterday
(long weekend, two cross country red eye flights). Anyway, the BIOS upgrade
seems to be working great so far. This is the first time the machine has ever
stayed usable for two days without passing "acpi=off, nolapic, noapic" on boot.
According to hal, the BIOS version was 2AKT32AUS and after the upgrade it is
2AKT48AUS. It is a Phoenix made BIOS, IBM machine. I'm not sure there is much
else to do with this bug and it can be closed as far as I'm concerned. I feel
bad that it had little to do with Ubuntu and you guys wasted time trying to help
me. Maybe the kernel can do a better job of detecting buggy acpi support or
maybe you guys can use hal to detect the BIOS version number and give a warning
to users in the future. Other than that this bug has probably been a waste of time.
