Yes I saw that post too. When the machine was first set up there were
some booting difficulties that were resolved by turning off acpi:
title openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.5
kernel (hd0,2)/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.5-default root=/dev/md0 vga=0x317
acpi=off resume=/dev/md1 splash=silent showopts
Given that the error mentions ACPI I am guessing that a resolution may
come from removing acpi=off. People are using files on the machine now
so I'll try rebooting with a modified grub entry in the morning and see
if it stops the log file from growing like it has over recent weeks.

Thanks for the replies. Turns out that /var/log/Xorg.0.log is the
errant file, 8 gig full mostly of the following line:
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
Google isn't immediately telling me why this is happening - at least I
know I can rm the file, keep an eye on it, and move on to "why" when I
have a little time.
