On my desktop, my mainboard (from 1st mainboards, with an AMI bios, if I don't remember badly) appears, on boot, as "from '97 and too old" so ACPI is disabled; see top of dmesg output (on kernel 2.4.22). On some older version of the patch(I've used the -ck patchset since kernel 2.4.20, and it included ACPI, and I've had it in the Mandrake 9.0/9.1 kernel) my mainboard was correctly handled and ACPI didn't create any problems.
