Exactly the same situation as with bug #2532 on an i8100. No problems with acpi during install. Shutdown/poweroff and reboot work perfectly. But some/most of the acpi modules are not working! I am not interested in the fact that suspend to ram/disk do not work and hang the laptop at reboot. I don't use them. But being able to see battery status is important (2 batteries in laptop)! This is not working at all! Neither is temperature: it always shows 25 C! In this case (i8200) I am sure that the BIOS/ACPI is OK. (even though I get the same messages in 'dmesg' as in #2532) Everything worked flawlessly with WinXP when the laptop came. This must be the Linux kernel acpi patch: not 'ripe' enough. By the way wouldn't it be advisable to include a package like 'kacpi' for use with acpi. Working with 'acpi' and '/proc/acpi' is a bit "primitive"
