I would say yes, but who could really say?  You haven't given alot of 
detail.  That said I have an epox(socket A nforce2) and it seems they 
use the microsoft acpi stuff, which sucks.  I have sent some problems 
reports to them, even one with a phatched asl I did myself.  I got no 
real response, they said we support windows, not linux.  Hold on, 
LINUX!  I told I run FreeBSD!  O well, I would recommend staying away 
from epox if you wnat to run a non-ms os. 

Have you tried the acpidump yet?
