Glad you got it working.
Please note: ACPI is used for power management, particularly cooling, which is extremely important for laptops. However, on i386 it is possible that the older technology APM is available on the laptop if APCI is disabled. Review your dmesg(8) output, and look to see if one of the dmesg lines states something similar to "apm0 at bios0 flags 0x0000". If so, then APM is available and in use on your laptop.
