Sorry for the long silence.  The symptoms sound like ACPI support is
being disabled for some reason indeed.

Please attach:

 - dmesg output immediately after booting
 - output from

	/usr/share/bug/linux-image-$(uname -r)/script 3>&1

   which provides basic information about your hardware and how
   the kernel sees it.

Any other observations since then would be helpful, too (whether newer
kernels behave differently, other weird symptoms, which kernel used to
work --- you can get the history of installed kernels from
/var/log/dpkg.log* --- and so on).

Thanks for reporting it, and sorry we missed this before.

Cheers,
Jonathan
