Hi,

Running vanilla 2.6.22.6 on a Dell Inspiron 1501 (w/ latest BIOS 
update), the kernel says:
...
Sep 12 11:49:27 [kernel] ACPI: System BIOS is requesting _OSI(Linux)
Sep 12 11:49:27 [kernel] ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux"
Sep 12 11:49:27 [kernel] Please send dmidecode to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
Sep 12 11:49:27 [kernel] ACPI: Interpreter enabled
Sep 12 11:49:27 [kernel] ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
...

The machine itself is stable under load (aside from wifi network drops, 
but thats a known bcm43xx tx power problem), aside from an occasional 
message in dmesg saying stuff like:
Sep 12 07:21:45 [kernel] APIC error on CPU0: 00(40)
Sep 12 07:21:48 [kernel] APIC error on CPU1: 00(40)
Sep 12 07:28:27 [kernel] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
Sep 12 07:28:46 [kernel] APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)

I have attached the dmidecode output. If there is any more info you 
need, just ask, I am happy to experiment with the machine using -mm or 
git kernels or whatever.

Regards,
LL
