The message is (mis)informational rather than destructive for me.

Try removing acpid from your startup scripts before booting into 2.5.6x
then check your /proc/interrupts and see if there are a large number
being generated quickly.
This could cause laptop slowdown and perhaps overheating which can
introduce instability.  It's a known problem that I've seen
mentioned on the list.  I expect that the developers will need much more
information from you if they are to help.
