Hi, I've read the APIC kernel option (not ACPI) for uni-processors is the reason for the problem after I had experienced the same issue with a T41P. Compile your own kernel with the CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC kernel options disabled and you should be fine. (Look at http://www.plope.com/Members/chrism/thinkpad_notes and search for uniprocessor, that's the best hint I found for the problem.)
