On my T40 ACPI is working fine too, without the USB host controller
driver loaded even suspend to ram works perfectly, suspend to disk
worked while installing, it doesn't now, probably only a small problem
(X or loaded modules, dunno). And after resuming the acpi events stop
working, hmm (recognition of sleep/power/lid buttons), not too serious.

It means that the ACPI BIOS contains some bugs, and the second warning
says that the warnings are being ignored (some sort of workaround).

Yes, with the latest 2.6 kernels it is definitely rock solid for all
machines I know, even my VIA KT400 desktop machine that used to have a
lot of problems.
