It's a Toshiba Satellite A70 S249.  I can send the full 'lspci -vvv' output if
you think it will help...

Same problem with APIC here.

But ACPI isn't working.  It hangs my machine when I boot and I have to use
'acpi=off' on Grub to be able to go on.  If I don't disable it, it hands in a
place where a date is shown...  Something like 2000508.... for a building
version or revision.

It's not the 'default', it's the SMP, sorry.  I had talked about the 'smp'
version before on the message and didn't repeat it on the part you quoted.
And, if it's there on the very same version, then there's something trying to
uninstall it when I upgrade.
