My bios only has a switch for the OS type: OS2/Non-OS2 -- I set it to
Non-OS2.

I'll give the disabling ACPI thing a shot, though actually I DO want to use
it. The kernel bug team confirmed that the problem is ubuntu's initrd since
the message can't be found in any kernel source. Other than the weird
message, the system runs fine
