Subject: ACPI Warning (nspredef-0858): \_SB_.BAT0._BIF:

Hmm,
This is weired; I'm not sure but I think this might
be caused by acpid or something in that area, i.g.
doing a fresh install and loading the latest git leaves me
without a warning message, but then after upgrading to intrepid
I see this:
[ 11.116543] ACPI Warning (nspredef-0858): \_SB_.BAT0._BIF: Return
Package type mismatch at index 9 - found Buffer, expected String
[20080926]

Well, I guess a safe solution, until this is fixed
for me at least is to just use the
acpi_osi=Darwin boot option.
