APIC errors have nothing to do with ACPI.
(other than the fact that on lots of systems, ACPI is required
if you want to configure the APIC).
If you don't like the APIC errors, then run with "noapic".
very few laptop uses would notice a difference.

acpi.sf.net is used as a project home page, but we otherwise
don't use the services of sourceforge.
we use bugzilla.kernel.org for Linux/ACPI bugs
we use this list on vger.kernel.org -- which has a 100K limit.
If you want to file a bug and attach a dsdt, use the bugzilla above.
cheers,
