fix for this should be in ACPICA 20060721 -- it is a microsoft compatibility fix... will attach a test patch here.
This is the same problem as described in: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=189488 There is a patch added against 2.6.16 there in the end (It's from Bob, so this is probably how it will end in or already is in mainline). This is not a compatibility patch, but was a bug in the ACPICA code as the package elements field was ignored.
The patch is not available to mere mortals. (Novell denies access, even after creating an account.) Please post the patch here.
