Gerry,

Attached acpidump (binary files and regular dump).
I just tested 4.0-rc6+your_patch on another single core system, AMD
geode board, and that works fine now!
So indeed it seems there is something special about the dell laptop as
that's the only system, I've available here, which still has an issue.
