Interesting.  Do you happen to have "acpidump" output from before or
after the BIOS upgrade?  If we want to solve this so users do not need
to know about the BIOS upgrade in order to use Linux, it will be very
useful to see both.

One can get acpidump output by simply installing the acpidump package
and running the "acpidump" command as root.

Sincerely,
