My own guess is the conflict between PNPACPI and the w83627hf driver,
which is known to have affected the Linux kernels from 2.6.10 to 2.6.14:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id@14

If I am right, the only way to get it to work on a 2.6.14.x kernel
would be to disable the PNPACPI configuration option (pnpacpi=off on
the bootloader command line will do too.)

2.6.15 vanilla should work just fine too.

Hope that helps,
