ACPI trouble with MS-6167 motherboard

ACPI trouble with MS-6167 motherboard

[dmeyer]

I'm still having ACPI difficulties with Linux-2.4.1-pre10 on my
system.  Up to (and including) Linux-2.4.0, it worked fine; the kernel
reported:

Jan 14 22:53:05 jhereg kernel: ACPI: System description tables found
Jan 14 22:53:05 jhereg kernel: ACPI: System description tables loaded
Jan 14 22:53:05 jhereg kernel: ACPI: Subsystem enabled
Jan 14 22:53:05 jhereg kernel: ACPI: System firmware supports: C2
Jan 14 22:53:05 jhereg kernel: ACPI: System firmware supports: S0 S1

However, since Linux-2.4.1-pre8, I get:

ACPI: System description tables found
    ACPI-0191: *** Warning: Invalid table signature found
    ACPI-0073: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load RSDT: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
    ACPI-0101: *** Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
ACPI: System description table load failed

I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me what the deal is.
