Yes - I'm having similar problems. I find my computer doesn't quite get as
far as rebooting though: the screen goes blank and sometimes there's a
continuous, regular beep-beep sound coming from the speakers. I think this
problem's known about though:

I'm using a Sony Vaio PCG-FX401 with the acpi-20020709 patch (plus a small
bugfix patch from the ACPI mailing list to prevent the Kernel from panicing
at bootup). My modem is the 1106:3068 type with the
hsflinmodem-5.03.03.L3mbsibeta02062500 driver. Kernel is 2.4.18 vanilla
with only the ACPI patches added. Distribution is Debian "Woody".
I had the exact same problem with the latest-but-one version of ACPI too.
Reading the mailing list archives came up with a few possible solutions but
none of them worked for me.
