Just installed on a T21. ibm_acpi seems to be fixed, loads fine (v0.8).
Also v0.11 works :)
[root at purgatory acpi]# tail -3 /var/log/messages

[root at purgatory acpi]# ls /proc/acpi/ibm/
bay bluetooth cmos driver fan led thermal volume

Also ACPI seems to be fixed since the machine reboot AND shuts down
properly.
Maybe add to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165819
???
But ...
[root at purgatory acx]# modprobe e100

There was another error about cardmgr but I didnt write it down and cant
find anything in the logs now. I'll try and get it somehow. PCMCIA works
fine though.
Hope all this helps.
