I'm having major dramas getting FreeBSD working on my Laptop.=20 It is a Compaq Presario M2000. System specs: CPU - Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor - 1600 MHz Motherboard - Quanta 3091 RAM - 256 MB DDR Disk Drive - ST94019A (37 GB, IDE) Optical Drive - HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4244N Video Adapter - ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M (32 MB) Audio Adapter - Conexant AC-Link Audio I will tell you step by step what I've been through. 1. I could only boot in safe mode in 5.4 - yet when I finished the install it didn't write the boot manager to the mbr. So I tried using a couple of other boot managers (gag, grub) but non of those would install either. 2. I decided to install a minimal 4.11 install. 4.11 would only boot/install disabling sio0. But it worked and installed the FreeBSD Boot manager, which is all I wanted. 3. Then I once again installed 5.4 in safe mode. It worked fine then as the boot manager that 4.11 had put there was still there. Yet I can still only boot in safe mode. Now I know that safe mode disables ACPI, the APIC, ATA and ATAPI DMA, ATA write caching, and all EISA devices. So I figure that it is something here that is my problem. When I boot in to default it gets to=20 ioacpi0 irqs 0-23 on motherboard then freezes, and goes to a blank screen, and the only way out is the power switch. When I boot with ACPI disabled - it gets to the same thing, then it does the same thing. When I add 'debug.acpi.quirks=3D4' into the /boot/loader.conf file. The default boot gets to: Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec Then freezes The Verbose boot gets to: Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec lo0: bpf attached Then freezes. And the ACPI disabled boot gets to: cpu0 on motherboard Then freezes. I have tried adding a couple of other options to the /boot/loader.conf file. Now of which make any difference at all, including: hw.ata.atapi_dma=3D"0" and "1" hint.apci.0.disabled=3D"1" acpi_load=3D"YES" and even telling it that it is Windoze. There are a couple of other options I have added to, but I cant think of them now my head is swimming :s. Some of the outputs are -=20 # vmstat -i interrupt total rate irq0: clk 65946 99 irq1: atkbd0 429 0 irq4: fwohci0 4584 6 irq5: rl0 26 0 irq7: 1 0 stray irq7 1 0 irq8: rtc 84410 127 irq11: ohci0 ohci1 272 0 irq12: psm0 124 0 irq13: npx0 1 0 irq14: ata0 1752 2 irq15: ata1 46 0 Total 157592 238 The dmesg for the safe mode boot is: # dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

I have searched google, man pages, articles, and anything I can get my hands on, but to no avail. I was going to add apm to the kernel and try that yet, the warning in the man pages scares me: "WARNING! Many, if not most, of the implementations of APM-bios in lap-tops today are buggy. You may be putting your LCD-display and batteries at a risk by using this interface." I cant afford, this it took me nearly a year to save up for this lap-top, and I just cant lose it (I cant eat I'm so poor from buying it). By the way I'm only a newbie (2 months in FreeBSD), yet I'm willing to do what ever it takes. If I haven't placed enough detail here let me know. Anything else I can provide I will. I just really need to get this working. Please Please if anyone could help I would be so incredibly grateful! Thankyou illy (Lilly Page)
