I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a Gateway M305XL laptop. I'd be
happier with 5.2 so I'll start there.
In 5.2 The kernel never completely boots. Here's what I get
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bootmap of probed irqs 0
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomeme 0xa0000-0zbffff on isa0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That may not be exact since I transcribed it from the screen. I'm not
sure what's causing this but my preference would be to install 5.2
since it has ACPI control ant he M305XL has a really noisy fan.
In 4.9-RELEASE The machine warns me that ad0 is UDMA 66 but has a UDMA
33 cable. I can get buy this by telling the machine that it can only
use PIO mode but I noticed that if I play with the BIOS I can get it
to install in UDMA mode 2. To tell the truth. If I cannot figure out a
way to turn the fan off I'm going to return the laptop anyhow. Has
anyone got suggestions of how to get a test install of 5.2 going so I
can determine if ACPI will let me control the fan?
Thanks in advance
