Thanks.  Mph.

I assume unloading the hp_wmi driver helps?

If so, please report this to <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/>, product
Drivers, component Platform_x86, and let us know the bug number so we
can track it.  Be sure to mention:

 - steps to reproduce, expected result, actual result, and how the
   difference indicates a bug (should be simple in this case)
 - which kernel versions you have tested and what happened with each
 - full "dmesg" output from booting and reproducing the bug, as an
   attachment
 - "acpidump" output, as another attachment
 - known workarounds if they exist
 - any other weird symptoms or observations
 - what kind of debugging you can do (e.g., if someone provides a
   debugging patch, can you test it?)
 - a link to http://bugs.debian.org/658401 for the backstory
