My IBM T42p blows up too.  I can't get the entire trace either, but it 
is clearly in the acpi code.  I noticed that the most recent rawhide 
kernel change has this comment:

* Sun Oct 16 2005 Dave Jones <davej at redhat.com>
- Enable ACPI EC Burst.
- Change printk level of an ACPI message.
- Stop IDE claiming legacy ports before libata in combined mode.

Probably ACPI EC Burst is the culprit?
