alright, if i were to disable ACPI, so that I could use 5.2 normally, would it be "bad"..i mean is it a big deal if ACPI isn't turned on? if it is not a bigdeal, then i forget about the problem, as it is most likely a compatibility problem (with new changes made to the ACPI driver), and start using 53.2 and its new features.. thanks again >From: Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org> >To: alexis georges <floating_in_space_@hotmail.com> >CC: kris@obsecurity.org, freebsd-current@freebsd.org >Subject: ACPI failure on 5.2 (Re: Timecounters and 5.2) >Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2004 19:30:01 -0800 > >On Tue, Jan 20, 2004 at 10:21:10PM -0500, alexis georges wrote: > > well, if you mean what happens next in nonACPI mode, then i just end up >at > > the login prompt..no problem..i can login in..no problem.. > >OK, your original email mentioned an "error" when you tried disabling >ACPI.
