Has anyone ever had ACPI do anything useful for them? Seriously. On each of four machines I've installed recently--a Thinkpad X20, a generic 2xP3/833, a VA Research 2xP2/400, and a Netfinity 7500 (4xP3/500, I think), I've had to turn of ACPI because otherwise everything goes all pear-shaped. What good is it *supposed* to be?
