FWIW here's my reply to the initial mail with some dmesg info : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127074346725322&w=2

Comment 3 Toralf Förster 2010-04-13 18:16:14 UTC 
I bisected the ACPI error message down to this :

tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ make
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
-..
  CC      ipc/syscall.o
ipc/syscall.c:17: error: conflicting types for ‘sys_ipc’
include/linux/syscalls.h:691: error: previous declaration of ‘sys_ipc’ was here
make[1]: *** [ipc/syscall.o] Error 1
make: *** [ipc] Error 2
(reverse-i-search)`skip': cat ~/^Cipped 
tfoerste@n22 ~/devel/linux-2.6 $ git bisect skip
There are only 'skip'ped commits left to test.
The first bad commit could be any of:
1ee4d61fd9822fb89e63b88a66848477087cd82e
bc73675b99fd9850dd914be01d71af99c5d2a1ae
We cannot bisect more!

Toralf,

Just use the patch from #15749.

Yep - that solved it.

Unfortunately I wasn't on Cc: at this bug report (or I ignored the appropriate mail) - b/c otherwise I wouldn't bisect a already discovered issue ... :-/
