Laptop is currently in use so I cannot get to bios however:
from acpi_dsdt file

RSDT: Length=44, Revision=1, Checksum=199,
    OEMID=COMPAQ, OEM Table ID=CPQ00B7, OEM Revision=0x18040320,
	Creator ID=CPQ, Creator Revision=0x1

Yes.  Originally at boot up there would be complaints about not being able
to acquire locks. I attempted to remove some locks but it was non-obvious to
me which ones.  Then yesterday received email from Simon who provided a
diff against the latest bios on the Compaq site.  I had to add in the Windows
2001 fix.

I leave that to the acpi experts.

At bootup I do see:
