Sorry that I did not make that clear, but I am already running with 
current git (v2.6.27-rc7-94-gc0f4d6d).

The kernel errors listed in that commit log are rather different from what 
I'm seeing.

Also, how could a commit in the kernel fix a broken ACPI table? No change 
in the kernel can repair syntax errors that show up when you disassemble 
and recompile the ACPI table itself, can it?
I thought using iasl as I did was the accepted way to uncover errors in a 
system's ACPI tables.

I really think the problem is in the ACPI table in this case, not in the 
kernel.

Cheers,
FJP
