Ok, did this.

Ok. Following the instructions in acpi(4) I've added:

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"


to /boot/device.hints

The acpiconf -d doesn't appear to have resolved it. :(

I left a ssh session open but it's disconnected after being left sitting
at a shell prompt:

# Read from remote host au.dyndns.ws: Connection reset by peer
Connection to au.dyndns.ws closed.


Guess I"ll have to wait and see after the next reboot whether having
ACPI disabled right from the start will make any difference.
