That certainly explains why your /proc/acpi/processor/0/info only contains
<TBD>. You definitely _don't_ have a full acpi implementation. You have to get
the patches from sourceforge

It _shouldn't_ matter. If you compiled the kernel to support both, it checks
for both (I'm not sure which order) and uses the first one which the BIOS
supports. So then the apmd/acpid daemons could both run and only one should
have any effect.
