This clearly indicates ACPI breakage on your machine.
Re-report it as such to the ACPI list.

I've added some further info. You can find the dmidecode and biosdecode info 
on: 
http://www.usta.de/RefAk/Aussen/privat/dmidecode.log
http://www.usta.de/RefAk/Aussen/privat/biosdecode.log

Thanks for looking into that,

Malte,
perhaps you can upgrade your kernel and let us know how it goes -- there
have been some apic related fixes since then.

thanks,

Hi, I have tested this with 2.6.4-rc2 and the same thing occurs.

If you need any further info, please let me know. And thanks for making 
notebooks work well under Linux!
