Thanks for the dmidecode output.

Do you notice any functional difference when booting with

"acpi_osi=Linux" (default for 2.6.22 and earlier)
vs.
"acpi_osi=!Linux" (default for 2.6.23 and later)

Also, please send me the output from acpidump.

thanks,
-Len

If you don't have acpidump, you can get it from pmtools here:

thanks for the acpidump output.
It is clear that OSI(Linux) is a NOP on the Sony VGN-SZ38GP_C:

            If (CondRefOf (\_OSI, Local0))
            {
                If (\_OSI ("Linux"))
                {
                    Store (0x03E8, OSYS)
                }

                If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001"))
                {
                    Store (0x07D1, OSYS)
                }
