Are you running GENERIC_LAPTOP? At some point, someone included acpi
in that kernel, which causes problems for my T42. On -current, I have
a custom kernel that includes
no acpi0 at mainbus0
but I don't remember if 'no' is supported on 3.0. My daughter is also
running a custom kernel. Anyway, I get that message if I boot the ACPI
version; the fix is to build a kernel that doesn't have it.
