Thanks and no problem. I don't think there's any need to try the experimental
kernel.

Sounds like it's still broken.
I had missed before that this was a 1999-era board. Lots of those have
trouble with ACPI so in that light the symptoms seem less surprising.
I suspect the best Linux could do to address this is to automatically disable
acpi when appropriate.
Thanks again for the logs! I'm keeping this closed because I think
you've provided enough information for the interested and the
workaround is discoverable enough. Thanks for indulging my curiosity
--- I'll see if there's anything for upstream to learn from this.
Cheers,
Jonathan
