BTW: Have you tried recompiling your DSDT? The MXN DSDT's oddly contain
some trivial-to-fix errors (like the If(SSn) statements in your case),
there's even an updated DSDT at http://acpi.sf.net.

http://acpi.sf.net/dsdt/view.php?id=84

does that really fix the keventd-problem as it says in the comment?
i diffed the original and the custom .asl and the only difference seems
the removal of "If (SSn)"-stuff. and only that does not seem to fix it,
because (for the record): the ASUS S1300N is also affected by the very same
problem which persists after syntactically debugging the DSDT.

ahh.. archives are up again.. browsing them i found:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=2693584&forum_id=7803

(check this, carlos) and looked at the aforementioned diff again. i had
overlooked the "comments" patched into the DSDT, which was all that had to
be done for disabling some thermal handling.

and after i commented this one function out in the DSDT for the
S1300N... *tadaaa* ... keventd is using ~0% cpu and the harddisk speeds
up to 29MB/s (hdparm -t). now also the kernel module "thermal" does not
oops when unloading it.

ok, now i only have to find out why speedstep does not work with with
cpufreq and why i cannot unblank the console except when switching to
XFree86.

bye,
