Incorrect ACPI blacklisting of ASUS P4B266 ?

Hi.

There are quite a lot of reports of people having problems managing
poweroff of their ASUS P4B266 based systems.

It seems that providing acpi=force as a boot param is quite succesful.

Maybe that should be fixed WRT to the blacklisting... hence reporting
as advised in the kernel source (arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c).

I unfortunately couldn't identify the reason why such a blacklisting
was setup, as it seems to come from long time ago.

Hope this helps,

Best regards.
