 A data point ...
 
 FreeBSD here is 6.1-STABLE i386 (around May 7 2006) on IBM ThinkPad
 T42 (2373-5TU).

 Did you mean acpi_ibm kernel module?  Otherwise, where would i find
 ibm_acpi driver that you write of?

 Pressing hardware volume buttons with or without acpi_ibm loaded did
 not & does not cause crash.  Loading acpi_ibm module itself also did
 not cause crash.
