Hi Len,

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)

...in particular, please check sound, wifi, and hibernate.
I'm using K2.6.23. Sound and wifi works fine like 2.6.22; i'm not using hibernate, only suspend to ram (works fine).
The big difference that I see from k2.6.22 is the LCD backlight
setting: with K2.6.23 works! :)

Thanks for the acpidump, it shows that OSI(Linux) is a NOP on this box, as LINX is set but never referenced.
