there is almost no non-acpi land these days in term of dev and in terms
of support.  aboves is satisfactory as acpi=off is often needed as you
will see through a quick scan of broken tables in debian bts.

also while scanning the upstream bug report,
please report the dmesg and /proc/interrupts,
either attached or inside of your mail or attach them directly
to the bug report. you can't demand someone else to follow flacky links.
thanks
