Sorry to reply to myself but wanted to pass on info that people are
asking me in private e-mails:

1. We have tried ACPI w/o help
2. This happens on more than one machine (last could its about 9)
3. It always happens after the first bootup after upgrading the kernel and =
world

Thanks again!

Scott
