Well, no obvious ACPI problems - the graphics card is buggy, and its sound system does strange things that I haven't had time to investigate, but other than that... remind me to never have anything to do with an HP computer again. The "no BIOS SMAP" problem is that its BIOS refuses to give memory information to FreeBSD AMD64, so it can't boot. - Bob
