Agreed, this mail should merge them.
I had a quick look around, and it seems that most/all of the
reports of this bug are from Debian users. Which could mean
a number of things, but it does make me wonder if it is
caused by one of the patches applied to the Debian Kernel.
Is there any chance that any of the interested parties could test
a) 2.4.12 from unstable and b) an unpatched kernel from kernel.org?
In the mean time, the best work around seems to be to
commend out the call to acpi_ut_evaluate_object() in
acpi_pci_add_link() in drivers/acpi/pci_link.c.

But that looks like a solution that will make other things fall apart,
and I am entirely uncomfortable with the idea of applying that fix to
Debain.
