This problem appeared on my laptop (Dell Precision M70 with Pentium M) after updating from 6.0-RELEASE to 6.0-STABLE on Nov 10th 2005.

This problem has also been reported on -stable mailing list by another user running 6.0-stable on a Dell Inspiron 8600c >How-To-Repeat: run "acpiconf -i loop" >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
