Can you send the dmesg for when you have ACPI enabled?
Does /proc/interrutps show that you are getting some kind
of acpi events?

Note that ACPI has a number of drivers, eg. processor, thermal etc.
that you can unload or unconfig to see if the problem lies there.

Note also that you should be able to boot the ACPI enabled kernel with
"acpi=off" to completely disable anyting ACPI in that kernel.

cheers,
