After a quick search of BugZilla it seems that this is a known issue (bug 
12904) and there is a work-around - add the following to the boot command line:

acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"


I've added a link to this page on the BugZilla bug.  Thanks one and all for the 
support on this so far - hopefully there will be a proper fix in time for 9.10 
from upstream :-)
