I've run FreeBSD on one since the start of 2007, but there are some ACPI issues. A number of errors appear when booting (see link below), and the acpidump'd ASL doesn't compile (also see below). The most obvious emergent symptom is the inability to monitor battery status. I have also been unable to get CD/DVD writing to work, and there are audio issues - though these may both be unrelated to ACPI; the only errors I see in logs look battery-related. I've created a web page containing the various debug information suggested by the handbook chapter on this topic. It includes: - Output of dmesg after boot -v - Output of sysctl -hw acpi - Output of acpidump -t -d - Output of iasl on that dumped ASL It is at: http://gimbo.org.uk/blog/freebsd_acpi_acer_aspire_5003wmli/ I'm running the latest BIOS, and a recent kernel (6.1-SECURITY), though that's a binary installed via freebsd-update; I'm guessing I'll need to compile a custom one to debug this? If anyone can advise me on how to proceed with debugging/solving this problem, I'd be most grateful, and will co-operate to the best of my ability.
