I sympathize since I've been feeling the same way. When I mentioned it to Andrew in response to another ACPI problem I saw posted he recommended I send it via bugzilla to see if more people will pay attention then.
But, in the ACPI team's defense, I also have about three other computers with ACPI that do work fine and I've seen a number of other people on the ACPI list without problems. In my case it's annoying since it's my laptop which has the problem and that's the only one that I really care about when it comes to ACPI.
I suggest you read through my initial email and see if you find anything unusually different in your setup. I'm not positive since I'm new to bugzilla but if you do have anything different that you notice then go to bugzilla.kernel.org under bug 529 and add on to the bug report. Sounds like the more info the better for this bug
: The only way I can boot recent 2.5 kernels is to make sure my BIOS does : nothing that even smells like ACPI. The only response I got so far on the : lkml is "disable acpi support" and "disable apic support". The only : conclusion I can make is that the ACPI support in 2.5 is buggy enough to : prevent 2.5 to emerge into 2.6 for a long time from now, and unfortunately : nobody seems to care. I detected big IRQ / ACPI / APIC trouble since about : 2.5.44 - 2.5.53, and nothing has changed since. : : NFI, I just don't understand that a core problem that prevents me from booting : 2.5 kernels, is noticed by so few others that it is able to remain unfixed : for so long.
