Hi, Well, I sold my Toshiba Satellite A10, and ended up getting a ThinkPad R40 (2722-CU2 on ibm.ca). I've been working on setting up 5.1 on it today, and have made some progress thanks to the previous experience of others on freebsd-mobile. The first problem was with the fxp device, and "device timeouts." I got past that by commenting out sio and pcmcia related devices in the kernel. I still need to go back and see if it was sio or pcmcia stuff, or part of the pcmcia devices. Next XFree86 would core dump. My R40 has the ATI Radeon M6 LY. What seemed to fix it was intel_agp.c rev 1.17 which was referenced in another e-mail here regarding an Inspiron notebook having the same problem. I have ACPI enabled, although I haven't tested the various ACPI functionality yet. As FreeBSD boots I get alot of errors such as: "ACPI-1287: *** Error: Method execution failed [\\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__._INI] (Node 0xc400f1e0), AE_NOT_EXIST" My BIOS version is 1.14. If someone would like to see all of the errors, I can provide the output. Btw, thanks for all the previous comments which have helped me get this far! p.s. IBM's predesktop partition doesn't show up during the FreeBSD installation and as a result, I didn't delete it, and it still works. :)
