Sorry about the late reply, I just read the last weeks of acpi-devel.
First, be a bit more patient, it may take some days until someone
answers.
I have not read the list to the end until now, maybe someone else
already answered...:
Can you please open a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org and take me into CC.
Please provide acpidump and dmesg as attachemnts.
Thanks.
