dmidecode output

Here are 2 dmidecode outputs as suggested in dmesg messages: one after
acpi_osi=!Linux parameter passed to a kernel and another before. By the
way I see messages

"MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC"

at every boot if it helps somehow.

I use laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 with F7. kernel-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 for
x86_64


Please respond if You take the material into Your consideration.

Best regards,

With 2.6.22, did you notice any functional difference with "acpi_osi=!Linux"?

(or since the default changed at 2.6.23, with 2.6.23 or later
 do you notice any difference with "acpi_osi=Linux"?)

Please send me the output from acpidump.
If you don't have acpidump, you can get it from pmtools here:
