The BIOS' AML may not be well coordinated with the CMOS setting
for enabling/disabling the device.

It is interesting that Windows XP works either way.
Could be that Linux has an ACPI bug that XP does not have,
or that the BIOS happens to work with XP's implementation
and not Linux's implementation.
