Your acpi loaded modules seem pretty scarce :-?

sm01@stt008:~$ lsmod | grep acpi
acpi_cpufreq           11792  0 
freq_table              9344  3 acpi_cpufreq,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand
processor              42304  2 acpi_cpufreq,thermal

Although above is the output I get from my workstation, I miss "thermal" 
from yours, which should control the computer's microprocessor temperature.

I would check for any BIOS update, just in case...
