I checked this myself because I thought I _was_ using ACPI. I found this: # grep -i acpi /var/run/dmesg.boot KLD file acpi.ko - could not finalize loading # devinfo | grep -A2 legacy legacy0 pcib0 pci0 Is ACPI meant to be compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module ? What could cause acpi.ko to not load as a module ? - aW 0n Fri, Oct 29, 2004 at 02:45:51PM -0400, John Baldwin wrote: On Thursday 28 October 2004 10:20 pm, Daniel Bond wrote: > Hello! > > I am having difficulties booting FreeBSD 5.3 withou ACPI, > nothing in my kernelconfig indicates that ACPI is enabled. > In /boot/device.hints and loader.conf, I have put > hint.acpi.0.disabled="1", and I have also tried to > delete/temp move /boot/kernel/acpi* .. > > And in adition to that I'm chosing "2.

That just means the drivers are present, it doesn't mean they are used. It looks like you have 'device acpi' in your kernel config. The way to tell that ACPI is enabled is to look for an acpi0 in your dmesg. Alternatively, you can run devinfo to list your device tree. If pcib0 is a child of acpi0, then you are using ACPI. If it is a child of legacy0, then you aren't. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
