And for those of us experiencing this on a machine other than an Acer Aspire 7720? I note that Acer appear to have a new BIOS available for the Ferrari 4005WLMi (version 3A27 I think, see ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/ferrari_4000/vista/BIOS/BIOS.zip) but it is labelled as "Bios for MS Windows Vista". This seems to tally with Richard Seguin's link above, but can anyone verify my assumption that this BIOS will be safe to use with Ubuntu?
