after many fruitless attempts to get ACPI working with the 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 kernel, I'm posting this in case somebody can help. The hardware is an Intel manufactured SRMK2 server with a ServerWorks ServerSet IIILE chipset (CNB30LE North Bridge and OSB4 South Bridge), dual PIII 1GHz 256K cache, with 1GB memory. The bios is an AMIBIOS by American Megatrends Inc.

Did you try fixing the DSDT table by hand? There is a great page on how to do this which was posted to this list recently.
http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html
Basically you dump the table into AML source and then recompile it using Intels AML compiler. Intel's compiler is more strict and catches errors which Microsoft's does not. The page has many good tips on how to fix up broken AML code.
Once it compiles clean there is a small patch to 2.4.19+acpi to read the table from a file. (the intel aml compiler outputs a hex table as C code).
I did this and it some missing features magically reappeared (like the ac-adapter and the battery).
might be worth a shot... seems like some/many/most DSDT tables have bugs.
