Hmm, yet acpi_ibm_attach() doesn't seem to get as far as setting up the
sysctl tree? Can you post or point to a verbose dmesg?

Ah right, duh! Someone who groks ASL might like to peek at it.

Could be. kldstat shows it's loaded the module, but something should
complain if the dev either fails to probe or to then attach properly?
!sysctl dev.acpi_ibm

acpi_ibm_probe() checks that %pnpinfo _HID=IBM0068 so if you are seeing
acpi_ibm0: <IBM ThinkPad ACPI Extras> on acpi0
on boot, it seems it must be probing ok but failing to attach somehow?
Hoping Lenovo haven't quit being 'IBM compatible' in this respect, just
stumbling around for an hour till They Who Know get a spare minute :)
cheers, Ian
