I'd like to use FreeBSD as my main operating system on my new HP Pavilion DV6248EU. Specs: AMD Turion64 X2 TL-50, Nvidia Geforce Go 6150, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB HD, DVD RW+DL+LS, LAN/WLAN, 1280x800, etc. =20 I have tried the AMD64 release of FreeBSD 6.2, but when booting from CD it crashes almost immediately and I can hardly read whats going on. A few lines keep scrolling over the screen, which I think is kernel debugging output. =20 So I thought I might be lucky with the i386 release of FreeBSD 6.2. It also crashes on boot but at least I can read whats going on. This is what I get booting from the installation disc: =20 /boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=3D0x4398 data=3D0x23c0+0x10f0 syms=3D[0x4+0x7ba0+0x4+0xa828 ] Loading required module 'pci' ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory \ int=3D00000006 err=3D00000000 efl=3D00010002 eip=3D00000003 eax=3D00449130 ebx=3D00000000 ecx=3D004f010f edx=3D0003fa40 esi=3D00000000 edi=3D00000000 ebp=3D00000000 esp=3D000928b0 cs=3D0008 ds=3D0010 es=3D0010 fs=3D0010 gs=3D0010 ss=3D0010 cs:eip=3Df0 53 ff 00 f0 c3 e2 00-f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 54 ff 00 f0 c7 a9 00-f0 53 ff 00 f0 a5 fe 00 ss:esp=3D00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 BTX halted =20 =20 I don't think the kernel crash has anything to do with the failing ACPI autoload. Normally I would enter my BIOS and play with settings for compatibility. But as you may guess, most settings in this laptop are locked. =20 If anyone has any ideas or advice in mind, please let me know. =20 =20 Kind regards, =20 Albert Kok =20 Technico Automatisering B.V.
