I am experiencing the same problem on the T40p, except I get it with both ACPI 
and APM - but *ONLY* if I have the extra 'ultrabay' batteri plugged in. When 
running with just the main battery I have no such problems.

Also it tends to hang somewhere around disk synching during shutdown/reboot 
aswell (again only with the extra battery).
