I have seen the same on a D600 and an Compaq Armada E500, not 6 seconds
but ~1.2 seconds. Try to put a

#define ACPI_ENABLE_OBJECT_CACHE 1

at the end of include/acpi/acpi.h (before the last #endif), this sort of
fixed it for me (now it again needs ~0.2 seconds, still way too long,
but the same as with the last good 2.6.11-rc2-bk9).

Good luck :-)
