Bug#288712: kernel-image-2.4.27-1 ACPI Fix

[VU NGOC San <svungoc@ujf-grenoble.fr>]

it also works for me, thanks ! (288712)

(works means that, as before, ACPI does not work on the dell latitude 
d800, but at least I can manually turn off the laptop with the power 
button, and the "hardware call" to BIOS using the battery key works, so I 
can check battery status this way)

actually no more message about ACPI shows up anymore on dmesg...
in previous versions I had something like this:

Dell Latitude with broken BIOS detected. Refusing to enable the local 
APIC.
ACPI: RSDP (v000 DELL                                      ) @ 0x000fdf00
ACPI: RSDT (v001 DELL    CPi R   0x27d4010c ASL  0x00000061) @ 0x1fff0000
ACPI: FADT (v001 DELL    CPi R   0x27d4010c ASL  0x00000061) @ 0x1fff0400
ACPI: ASF! (v016 DELL    CPi R   0x27d4010c ASL  0x00000061) @ 0x1fff0800
ACPI: DSDT (v001 INT430 SYSFexxx 0x00001001 MSFT 0x0100000e) @ 0x00000000


it seems however that the i8k module (fan control) does not work anymore.
Maybe I need some more testing
(I used to launch it using
 modprobe i8k force=1)
