Please attach the acpidump output using the latest pmtools at :
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/
Please attach the result of "cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/*" as

well.

I've attached the output of acpidump. The cat results in this output:

[noodles@meepok /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM]$ cat *
0 - Active; 1 - Passive
<polling disabled>
state:                   ok
temperature:             40 C
Segmentation fault

It also causes a general protection fault, which I've attached as
well.

This is a stock Debian kernel:

Linux meepok 2.6.24-1-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 11 13:47:43 UTC 2008 x86_64
GNU/Linux

I have a patch from Ming Lin to try out but it'll have to wait until
tomorrow before I can do so.

We've root caused the problem and Lin Ming's patch should work for you.
Please give it a try. :)

I've now done so; it fixes my problem and 2.6.25-rc3 boots fine with it
applied. Thanks.
