Not sure if the above message is ACPI related. Can you send the whole
log?

You will likely need to rewrite parts of the dsdt since it contains bus
numbers etc that might be different in LinuxBIOS

not for ACPI. ACPI was originally designed to provide a callback free 
bios interface. Which is a good thing in theory, LinuxBIOS does similar
