I compiled a vanilla kernel version 2.6.22.9 and acpi works.  I used the
vanilla sources from kernel.org and the config file
from /boot/config-2.6.22-12-generic.  There was an error message
involving a missing acpi file which I assume is related to a
debian/ubuntu patch.  
this was the symbol the vanilla kernel didn't like from line 18:
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD=y
I saw a few rumblings about this when I googled for acpi problems, but
they all involved older kernels.

What kernel version is the gutsy image based on?  It looked in the
changelog like they maintain their own patch-set against 2.6.22, but
that doesn't seem right...  Can someone clear this up for me?

I guess I have a workaround of sorts, but I don't know if the vanilla
kernel will break any Ubuntu features.  I remember in Fedora Core it
caused all sorts of problems...  It seems fine here.  I would love to be
able to use the stock kernel.
