Is your MODULES option in /etc/default/acpid set? The only meaningful
difference between starting acpid directly and running it through its init
script seems to be the load_modules part.

Wait a moment, I should have read more carefully. Does this mean in the
working case you run acpid manually *after* running the init script? And when
executing it for the second time it does *not* report an error opening the
netlink device?


Yep that is right. But the first *manual* call of acpid also does not 
report it..
Anyway it is not working completly, my touchpad still does not work 
after this.

That means calling it manually never reports the failure but using the init
script always does?

 after this.

Right, but I'm pretty much convinced that this is not an acpid bug but instead
shows acpid suffering from the very same problem your whole system suffers
from. If you do no have an input layer available you do lack the event devices
needed for acpid but also the input devices. 

Having said that, could you try dowgrading hal and test whether this makes a
difference?
