Well, that's interesting:

vaio:/etc/init.d# acpi_listen
acpi_listen: can't open socket /var/run/acpid.socket: No such file or
directory

vaio:/etc/init.d# acpid --debug --foreground --logevents
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory

vaio:/etc/init.d# ps -efa |grep acpi
root 84 2 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 [kacpid]
root 85 2 0 14:46 ? 00:00:00 [kacpi_notify]
108 2943 2919 0 14:47 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-acpi

Having done a search on my error messages, it appears that
/proc/acpi/event is a deprecated kernel option, but may cause issues if
turned off. Wonder if I need to get the source & config of this kernel
and see if that is set.

Cheers
