Have you recently installed any new hardware on the laptop? Maybe changed the BIOS settings? The reason I ask, is the issue I was having went away when I installed some new hardware (sound card, in my case). Can't explain it, but it did. Also, in my case kacpid was only going up high for one of 2 CPU's.
