I've tried to to upgrade the HP BIOS from 3.04 to 3.07 again, but the HP updater is still broken, and won't run on my system. FWIW, I've been running 5.2.1 successfully on this system, with ACPI disabled. Dunno if the BIOS should be blacklisted or I should try something else, but further experiments are welcomed.
