Well .. I recently put 8.2 on my Vaio (U1) and ACPI is not working.

There's no battery info, no thermal info and the internal loudspeaker no 
longer works. The U1 uses a Crusoe, and longrun no longer works. Also, 
there was an issue with the sonypi driver and sjog (or sjog like 
programs), but that was easily fixable - once you find the solution.

That said, everything else worked out of the box ;-)

p.s. If anybody out there's running 8.2 on a U1/3 and has managed to 
compile and use an ACPI enabled kernel, please let me know!!
