acpi problems on Sharp PC-AR50 notebook

acpi problems on Sharp PC-AR50 notebook

[Cam]

Hi ACPI list,

I'm trying to get ACPI working on my notebook - since upgrading to 
kernel 2.6 linux is trying to use ACPI. I know I can tell the kernel 
acpi=no but I would like to get ACPI to work if possible.

I have looked at web searches and FAQs and found this list, here are 
some details of the problem.

The battery/power info is missing. The lid switch doesn't trigger 
suspend. Also suspend (from apmd when acpi=no is set) can be entered but 
exited only by a reboot.

Here are highlights from the output of dmesg... I have put the full 
text, along with dmidecode and acpidmp output at:

   http://userca029.dsl.pipex.com/acpi

Any help gratefully received, if I can't fix this then it's back to good 
old APM...

Thanks in advance,

-Cam

The dmseg output, edited highlights...
