Yes, please try this since this is known to fix at least a couple
of other machines (see 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=116763)

The original acpi code ignored errors related to matching an
acpi device to an acpi driver. I changed that behavior to flag
an error, and this was wrong. An acpi device listed in the
namespace should not be required to have a driver for it to
be added to the acpi list.

thanks,
Rajesh
