I assume this is an ACPI problem. Or at least, a BIOS problem which ACPI can solve for us.

Yes, it might be unrelated. There are no kernel messages when it happens?

It'd be best to raise a report against ACPI?BIOS (I think) at bugzilla.kernel.org, please.
If any previous kernel version worked OK, please be sure to note that.
