I recently picked up an HP5460 AMD64 laptop, and I recently wanted to try FreeBSD on it. Unfortunately, both the x86 and AMD64 versions will not boot, actually shutting the power down shortly after the kernel finishes loading. I've tried 5.3 and 4.8 with similar results, also cycling through disabling ACPI, "safe mode", and going to the boot loader prompt and manually turning off whatever I can think of. Does anyone have any additional suggestions (either to boot it, or provide diagnostics), or will I be trapped to run Windows on this rather powerful machine? :) -Brian
