Note that this is not actually a "fix", but more a workaround. By disabling
ACPI you have probably also disabled quite a bit of functionality of your
hardware, including power management.
The original problem was an issue in the Linux kernel. Your best option is
to try more recent kernels than the 2.6.18 kernel included with Etch.
Please contact the debian-user mailing list if you need any help with that.
If the problem persists even with current kernels, your best option is to
report a bug with the upstream kernel developers at bugzilla.kernel.org.
I'm leaving your bug report open as reference for others.
Cheers,
FJP
