Ah right, finding the problem I had when disabling ACPI: the machine 
locks up at some point (no set time, sometimes it locks in boot and 
sometimes it locks in userland) no longer accepting input from the KB; 
any network activity appears on the link light but no packets are sent 
back. No panics appear and the machine does not reboot -- it just 
hangs. I don't have this problem in the kernel from a couple weeks ago 
(sorry, I didn't bother to mark the date :\ but it's within 3-4 weeks 
ago) with or without ACPI enabled.
