hi, thanks for your reply. i've resolved the thing by changing the kernel config. i don't know what exactly solved it, my guess is that now i don't have ACPI as modules anymore but compiled in. could also be other things, e.g. i didn't compile in preemption anymore.
the new config is attached and i'm running 2.6.12-gentoo-r7 now. > Indicates a bug in kacpid or similar.
