Using the latest available BIOS revision (INET36WW v1.16) does not solve
the interrupt storm errors including the cbb device slowdown with ACPI
enabled. As I mentioned before using APM is not an option, because
suspend/hibernate do not work for me since the upgrade from RELENG_5_2 
to RELENG_5.

Is anybody using RELENG_5/RELENG_5_3 on a TP600e without getting the 
interrupt storm error messages or was anybody able to fix this
behaviour?

Is anyone able to suspend/hibernate the TP600e using APM on RELENG_5?
