The standard (ULE). I don't think the problem's related to the scheduler: it shows all the signs of being an interrupt space problem. > Also, have you tried disabling apic? I think you mean ACPI. This machine doesn't have an APIC. To answer the presumed question: Yes, as I said above, the problems only occur when I enable ACPI. Since then I've also discovered that the builtin wireless card doesn't work either. It's: iwi0: mem 0xdfcfd000-0xdfcfdfff irq 10 at device 3.0 on pci3 iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:13:ce:46:28:49 After downloading the firmware, I can set IP addresses and such, but I always get "no carrier": iwi0: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:13:ce:46:28:49 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel 1 (2412) authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 100 txpower 100 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme roaming AUTO bintval 0 When I run dhclient on the interface, I get: DHCPDISCOVER on iwi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 DHCPDISCOVER on iwi0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15 send_packet: Network is down On the console I get the detailed error message: iwi0: fatal error This machine also has Linux on it, and the card works fine with Linux, so it's obviously a FreeBSD-related problem.
