Jeff,
Please attach the output from acpidump for your dell to this bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15886
I think we know how to cleanly solve the issue to make Philip's Gigabye happy, and I'd like to know if your Dell is the same situation or a different one.
Unfortunately, Matthew's HP fails for a different reason than Philip's Gigabyete. (The BIOS asks for it - so we'll have to poke at the chipset to find out the reason it is setting BM_STS)
thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center
