Well, that's interesting:

vaio:/etc/init.d# acpi_listen
acpi_listen: can't open socket /var/run/acpid.socket: No such file or 
directory

vaio:/etc/init.d# acpid --debug --foreground --logevents
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory

vaio:/etc/init.d# ps -efa |grep acpi
root        84     2  0 14:46 ?        00:00:00 [kacpid]
root        85     2  0 14:46 ?        00:00:00 [kacpi_notify]
108       2943  2919  0 14:47 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-acpi

Having done a search on my error messages, it appears that 
/proc/acpi/event is a deprecated kernel option, but may cause issues if 
turned off.  Wonder if I need to get the source & config of this kernel 
and see if that is set.

Cheers
