I Googled, and found a considerable amount of info concerning this issue, but the only thing I understood, was how to force the default boot choice to not load the acpi module. I went to: http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/tech/freenix/full_papers/watanabe/ watanabe_html/index.html and read what little I could understand. (not much) When I boot the computer, right after the bios loads the table that shows the hardware, PCI devices, memory locations, etc., I see: PS/2 Mouse Present ACPI Function Enabled Searching for boot record on CD etc. So, I am assuming that this machine *is* capable of ACPI. When I choose the default boot option from the menu, I get a TON of messages concerning ACPI. Assuming these msgs are errors, I have added hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to / boot/device.hints, and now I can boot the default choice without these msgs. I do understand that 5.1 is a development release, but have I mis-interpreted something....does this machine do ACPI, but FBSD doesn't like the way it does it, or what? > Dec 4 07:39:52 larry kernel:
