Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
starting little less than a week ago kacpid is now constantly using up
between 80-95% CPU causing system lag. renicing to 19 reduces the load
somewhat but is obviously not the solution. running the system with
"noacpi acpi=off" does not work at all.
