Latest BIOS on the machine already (apparently published sometime in 
August, '05) - No difference at all with ACPI disabled, apart from one PNP 
warning [which is understandable] and appeared to be something to do with

ps. When I said 'slice' in my earlier post, I meant partition - the hard 
drive has a WinXP partition, and a FreeBSD partition with the various 
slices on it, which Sysinstall doesn't see at all at installation time (in 
case anyone was rolling eyes <g>)...
