Comment 1 Thomas Renninger 2010-06-06 21:14:49 UTC 
Please attach acpidump and dmidecode output.
You may already want to double check whether ACPI_DEBUG is compiled into your kernel (zcat /proc/config.gz |grep CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG).
If it is it might make sense to remove some ACPI drivers:
rmmod battery;rmmod ac    (ar some polling candidates)
and increase debug level/layer shortly while this happens:
echo 0xFFFFFFFF >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
echo 0xF >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
(or even: echo 0x20F >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level which may show quite some output).
Hmm, best you start this tiny script when this happens (untested may have a typo):
===============
#!/bin/bash

logger "START ACPI LOGGING"
echo 0xFFFFFFFF >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
echo 0x20F >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
sleep 1
echo 0 >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
echo 0xF >/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
logger "STOP ACPI LOGGING"
===============
and send syslog output between START and STOP message.
