Bug#263420: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686-smp: oppses while starting, during ACPI?

Hello
I don't think it is included in upstream 2.6.8-rc4, neither in 2.6.8.
but the ACPI staff has released a new revision that resolves this issue among
others:

hopefully this patch is also available against 2.6.7, I'm currently running it
and it works well.
