The main change is that we now support _OSI to announce we're compatible with all the NT-derived MS systems. Also, we now serialize all method execution as some ASL depends on this behavior. The MS interpreter doesn't support parallel execution, hence this matches their behavior. If there are problems with these features, please try the tunables: hw.acpi.osi_method hw.acpi.serialize_methods You can disable each feature by setting it to 0 at the loader prompt or loader.conf. -Nate
