The 2629H1G is just one of various models of the ThinkPad A21p, if one
wanted to blacklist the 2629H1G, he should have blacklisted bios_version
KY??HT*, instead, which would get all models with that BIOS (includes the
A22p models as well).

Those thinkpads had Win98 support, and probably worked better in Linux using
APM than ACPI.  That might still be true, but we'd need to find someone with
an A21p or A22p to ask.
