It seems then that the problem is a buggy DSDT with your machine, which should be fixed.
I had a look for any ACPI DSDT updates that one could apply to your machine: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?manufacturer=ACER&name=Aspire+1694WLMi However, it seems that for your version, the 3A45 there isn't a fixed DSDT for your hardware. I therefore suggest to continue using the acpi=off boot parameters until a fixed DSDT appears. -- BUG in kernel 2.6.24-7?
