Just starting on my ACPI journey. My first tries to get an ACPI kernel 
working have led to a plethora of probems, and at the time I didn't have 
enough experience to be able to seperate ACPI problems from others.

I'll get back to those problems later, if/when I have time (next 3-5 
weeks are going to be absolutely more than hecktic, I am moving across 
the Atlantic again).

No, but they were a start. I am hopeful that the Field error encountered 
may have something to do with it. But again, I have no time right now to 
experiment and find out. This laptop has got a job to do right now.
