Re: sony srx7... sony pi... acpi
kernel 2.5.x should already include latest kernel patches.
anyway there was an issue with the latest one causing panics on many laptops (including many vaios).
using acpi kernel patch 20020709 with 2.4.18 or vanilla 2.5.[25|26|27] you should also add this other patch http://www.brodo.de/english/pub/acpi/20020709/nocorruption.2.acpi.diff to fix the panic.
I have a gr7/k with acpi+sonypi+cpufreq(speedstep support) and kernel is very stable.

PS: many modern laptops do not support APM anymore...
