I don't think, that Soekris will fix this. No model of Soekris ever had implemented DMI.
Their BIOS (called comBIOS) is completely written by them. Output is via serial port only.
At least I know, that the technical engineers at Soekris respond on sales@soekris.com.

Maybe the patch could be extended, that HPET would be only enabled if there is no ACPI present?
