I have 3 machines with ACPI BIOS here, I have no serious problems
with ACPICA code luckly (or unfortunately? :-)
However It seems that there are some bugs in ACPI CA code, acpi-jp
folks and some developers from Intel are discussing this sometimes at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The problem you are having is reported by VAIO Z505JX user; some ACPI
methods seems cause infinite loop within the method.
Unfortunately we haven't find the effective solutions for it. Could
you disable dev/acpica/acpi_*.c lines in sys/conf/files and see which
module cause this hang?
Oh yes, and please dump your Z505JE's DSDT data with `acpidump -o' and
send it for us. This would be useful for debugging.

Sounds interesting :-)
