I think the first thing to do is read Documentation/CHANGES before running anything(modutils.....), next the
ACPI is notoriously buggy on BP6 Mobo (i have one, so.....) so perhaps you should consider setting it off.
I think the CHANGES file should be changes for something with a file giving software requirement and
another giving real changes(perhaps the fixed part of the 2.4 TODO page ), that certainly avoid having
people reporting bugs when they run wrong modutils for exemple......
