fedora test2: ACPI failure on Sony laptop

[G Schneider]

I installed fedora test2 on a Sony GRX700 laptop:

ACPI does not work. It works fine on severn beta1 and
on RH9 + vanilla 2.4.22 kernel.

If I try loading the acpi related modules I get errors
like

# /sbin/modprobe ac
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2061.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the
output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2061.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o:
insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2061.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2061.nptl/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.o:
insmod ac failed

in dmesg I find the line 

ACPI: Subsystem revision 20030916
ACPI: Interpreter disabled. <======
PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfd9ca, last
bus=2

Instead apm is running, including the apmd daemon. Of
course on this laptop acpi is necessary for almost
everything.
