Public bug reported:

Hi,
on upgrade to 10.04 version.

After few minuts of use apci stop to wrok (don't recognize ac/dc or
battery, don't change lcd blacklight, etcc..) and start to flood dmes
with this messages:

[  767.208058] ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction
[  767.208072] ACPI Exception: AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] (20090903/evregion-424)
[  767.208106] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.GBST] (Node f7017030), AE_TIME
[  767.208197] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.BAT0._BST] (Node f7017120), AE_TIME
[  767.208277] ACPI Exception: AE_TIME, Evaluating _BST (20090903/battery-393)

Trying to reboot (or to shutdown and restart) my pc don't want to boot! Unique solution: get out the battery and replace.

PC: notebook acer aspire 5930G
