Answering to myself: I needed to put "acpi=on" in grub kernel 
configuration to activate the acpi kernel support (wich then provides me 
a /proc/acpi )

Strange... Maybe everyone is switching to 2.6.x and these things go 
unnotisted... I had searhed the mailing lists with no result...


Well, I hope this still helps someone!
