[ACPI] Keyboard freeze during battery query on Sony Vaio F801/A

[Jon M. <jj...@ix...>]

Hi,

I've been trying to get ACPI working on my Sony laptop, but I've had
little success. I've tried the following kernel versions (and acpi &
pciirq patches)

	2.4.18 (vanilla) 
	2.4.19pre9 (vanilla)

These vanilla kernels fail to detect the battery.

	2.4.18 + acpi 20020404, 20020503 & 20020517 
	2.5.17 + acpi 20020522
	2.5.18 + acpi 20020529 + pciirq.25
	2.5.19 + acpi 20020529 + pciirq.25 (without pcmcia support)

All of the above kernels and acpi patches have the same problem where
the keyboard will freeze after an acpi query for the battery status,
but I can still use the keyboard to turn off power with the Magic SysRq
key.
