You might want to take a look at the "firmware" package written by Intel, it's in the repository.

I couldn't find the package 'firmware' I tried 'firmwarekit' (samething thats on the SUSE 11 boot DVD) and that reports good..... only on the first boot after I boot windows once the second time the system freezes at that error again

I also found that ACPI reports an error and fails to boot only the second time of booting linux, to boot linux and use ACPI, I have to boot windows each time before loading linux or it will fail at the above error....
This may be caused by
PnPBIOS: Disabled by ACPI PNP

Is there a way to disable that? asside from downloading the source of ACPI and rebuilding it with all the disabling commented out?

I would be looking at kernel.org, maybe in the bug reports. Found this patch code https://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/...pnpbios/core.c which may be what is throwing the error; looks like turning off acpi and turning off pnp causes it. More explanation here Re: [PATCH] ACPI: don't walk tables if ACPI was disabled.

Try googling: "PnPBIOS: Disabled ACPI PNP"
