I have not installed dfly on a laptop yet though some times I use it
as my desktop.
But it is not surprising that FreeBSD 8.2 shows the same problem.
DragonFly drivers are mostly ported from FreeBSD.
I too have problems using DragonFly with acpi on certain newer hardware.
For the time being I just disabled acpi to get it working since Debian
Wheezy with linux kernel 3 panics on some hardware.
Again depending on what you are up to you can proceed in the following ways.
1) If it is to learn about DragonFlyBSD
a) Try it on a qemu
2) If it is to use BSD as a desktop
a) OpenBSD has the most drive support and acpi support. Try it
3) If it is to use DragonFlyBSD as a desktop then
a) Try a snapshot and see if the problem persists if you used a release.
http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/snapshots/
b) If the problem persists report it to
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/
Since you said it is a serious bug in acpi code I guess you are a
programmer and knew it from the error messages you get on screen.
If i am wrong about you then it could also be some driver or interrupt
problem as well.
I got the NIC problem on one of my machines fixed some time back by
reporting it to bugs.
You can see the details here.
