Acpi on motherboard MS-6167

Problem

With dmesg I can see the kernel disables ACPI:

...
[17179569.184000] ACPI: RSDP (v000 AWARD                                 ) @ 0x000f60e0

[17179569.184000] ACPI: FADT (v001 AWARD  AWRDACPI 0x30302e31 AWRD 0x00000000) @ 0x17ff3040

[17179569.184000] ACPI: BIOS age (1999) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI
[17179569.184000] ACPI: Disabling ACPI support
...

Environment

Distribution: Xubuntu-6.10 (Edgy Eft)

Solution

Specify acpi=force kernel parameter in /boot/grub/menu.lst. After that, dmesg shows:

[17179569.184000] ACPI: RSDP (v000 AWARD                                 ) @ 0x000f60e0
