what do CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY and CONFIG_ACPI_AC say in your 2.6.24 and 
2.6.25 .config files?

there is no such thing as the "acpi module", so this is normal

that's normal, since you've got powernow_k8 loaded

there is no such option as "acpi=on", so this is also normal.

"dmesg -s64000 |grep -i acpi" will tell you more about what you

it is surely on already.
