I get errors from acpi on boot that look like: ACPI-1287: *** Method execution failed. AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT And a complaint about tempurature. Then it tries to mount the memory file system and hangs. If I use unset acpi_load it boots up, (lots of unknown pci problems) but it boots and will install. After installation the system will not boot as it can't mount the root file system. I get : setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp root mount failed: 6 If I again do a unset acpi_load, the system boots and I can log in. I've tried set hw.acpi.ec.event_driven=1 and that didn't make a different. I've captured acpidump and dmesg if you want to look at that. http://chaotic.oz.org/other/bsd-5.0/erwin-5.0RC2-acpidump.txt http://chaotic.oz.org/other/bsd-5.0/erwin-5.0RC2-dmesg.txt Any ideas? -- Simon Coggins (SAGE-AU Member) Email: simon@uow.edu.au Network and System Management Officer Phone: +61-2-4221-3775 Information Technology Systems (ITS) Mobile: 0408 115861 University of Wollongong, 2522, Australia Fax: +61-2-4229-1985 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
