Hi, I have had several spontaneous reboots with the 6.0 release installed off of the iso CD. I am wondering if I should upgrade to stable? I have had problems with this laptop in Linux where it would not get through the ACPI part of the boot process. I would have to reboot it several times before it would go all the way through. After I first installed FreeBSD, I thought I might be having some problem with Mozilla as it tends to create zombie processes. Firefox starts to eat up 100% cpu on the first WWW page visited. But then it could be an Xorg or Enlightenment problem as well. I wonder if anyone else uses this type laptop, and if they have had problems? Maybe before upgrading to stable I should try disabling ACPI and/or hyperthreading and see what happens. But I don't like waiting for problems to happen if someone else has found the solution already. Thanks a lot, Rob Lytle
