Ok, let me restate:

Before last night, I was running 5-current as of April 10.  No ACPI
warnings happened after boot, and soft-power off worked.  Now with
5-current as of May 2, 2003, 0230 GMT, soft power off doesn't work right
and I get lots of warnings during normal uptime as described above.
This isn't a complaint about a broken BIOS, this is feedback (which I
beleive you asked for) of regressions from the latest import.
