[ACPI-sppt] ACPI on IBM ThinkPad G40

Hello,

I've got a new laptop, IBM ThinkPad G40, last week. I've 
installed Debian Sid without problems, but ACPI doesn't 
work. I've compiled Debian 2.4.22 kernel with
ACPI-2003-09-16 patch, but after boot, there's no /proc/acpi 
directory even the ACPI is compiled into kernel. Even with 
boot parameters acpi=force and/or pci=noacpi, the directory 
/proc/acpi wasn't created.

dmesg | grep ACPI produced these messages:

 BIOS-e820: 000000002f6f0000 - 000000002f6f8000 (ACPI data)
 BIOS-e820: 000000002f6f8000 - 000000002f6fa000 (ACPI NVS)

ACPI: Found ECDT
ACPI: Could not use ECDT
PCI: ACPI tables contain no PCI IRQ routing entries

I wanted to ask, what to do: should i try DSDT hack or i 
have to wait until IBM releases error-free BIOS?

Thanks for info
