ok, time to open some bugs. Seriously, if your board does not boot with ACPI, 
you should open bugs about it. And the problem you have when building kernels

Well, in kmail, all your replys are to your own messages - and it is hard to

Since you are the only one, where I have the problem, I blame your mail 
client ;)
