out of interest: what bios version do you have installed in your Compal Hel80? I have 122B.
try
lshal | egrep "(system.hardware.(product|vendor|version)|system.firmware.version|power_management.quirk)"
to find it out.
P.S. to set the option per default you have to add the option to line
# defoptions=quiet splash
which would become
# defoptions=quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux
in /boot/grub/menu.lst and then run update-grub .
