If it were you would have at least two more entries in the e820 output that say ACPI NVS and ACPI Reclaim. Have you been able to install a MS OS and have it recognize ACPI? Are there any other BIOS settings that might be related (what about a PnP OS setting or something under Power Management)? You might also check for any BIOS updates available from the motherboard manufacturer.
