I think if Linux alone works with ACPI on and Linux + I-pipe does not,
then there is a problem somewhere. We already saw in the past cases
where disabling ACPI resulted in IRQ being routed incorrectly,
indpendently of the I-pipe patch, (the kind of issue you seem to have).
So, setting ACPI to off may result in such issues.
The other issue, is that with acpi=off you get 4 cpus detected instead
of 8, so you are not using the hardware you have completely.
But of course, the choice is yours.
