Just installed on a T21. ibm_acpi seems to be fixed, loads fine (v0.8).
Also v0.11 works :)
[root at purgatory acpi]# tail -3 /var/log/messages
Sep 24 14:03:10 purgatory kernel: ibm_acpi: IBM ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.11

Sep 24 14:03:10 purgatory kernel: ibm_acpi: dock device not present
[root at purgatory acpi]# ls /proc/acpi/ibm/
bay   bluetooth   cmos  driver  fan     led    thermal  volume
beep  brightness  dock  ecdump  hotkey  light  video
[root at purgatory acpi]#

Also ACPI seems to be fixed since the machine reboot AND shuts down  
properly.
Maybe add to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165819  
???

But ...
[root at purgatory acx]# modprobe e100

There was another error about cardmgr but I didnt write it down and cant  
find anything in the logs now. I'll try and get it somehow. PCMCIA works  
fine though.

Hope all this helps.
