ACPI errors (2.4.21-pre3-ac4)

[Jeffrey Ross]

This existed with the earlier kernels as well, on boot up I get the 
following when I enable ACPI:

early in the dmesg output:

AFAICT, ACPI in vanilla and ac series is too old.  Try a patch upgrade from
sf.net/projects/acpi/

The problem you reported is well known and was fixed a long time ago.
