I'm not of the guru status where I could read what that problem is, but h= ere=20 are some general common (once you know it :) sense ideas. 1) read the Early adopter's guide on the freebsd page. 5.0 is not produc= tion=20 code yet. 2) Try installing 4.7Rel on the machine. If that is successfull, the out= put=20 of dmesg could be instructive in helping you get 5.0 installed. man dmes= g. 3) if you really want to get 5 on the machine another shot is to try -cur= rent. =20 The 5.x development track is moving quickly and your problem may have bee= n=20 solved. You can do that by downloading -current boot floppies, or=20 downloading a -current snapshot from the japanese site (in english don't=20 worry). Google for FreeBSD snapshots 4) disable ACPI, though I have no idea if that is possible to do before=20 installing. after all those, and getting 4.x installed, if you still get the same pro= blem=20 with -current, then send an email with as much info as you can to the=20 -current mailing list. that is where you should be with 5.x issues. Include the output of boot -v from the initial prompt (hit a key to get t= o=20 it). my .02 euro,drachma,$,etc. Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
