Hi, I have a Tosbhia M65-S9092 laptop that I've been trying to get FreeBSD on. I've tried 6.2-RELEASE, 5.5-RELEASE, and PC-BSD v1.4 and they all have the same problem's booting. The installation procedure runs perfectly fine using the normal boot procedure (option 1). No matter what option I hit when trying to boot after installation, it seems to completely freeze. If I select an option that has ACPI enabled, it will do this after displaying a message about loading acpi.ko. I say that it seems to completely freeze because I'm not sure if it is still actually loading something and perhaps I'm not seeing it. The keyboard is completely non-responsive, however it will access the hard drive for a quick second twice and it will spin up the CD drive once. After that, nothing happens and I'm forced to do a hard shutdown. I've tried booting with everything disconnected from the computer, with a usb keyboard connected, and with another monitor connected, and the exact same thing happens every time. Most recently I tried changing the drive geometry during install to what is shown on my hard drive and that did not change anything. What really drives me crazy is the fact that FreeSBIE runs perfectly fine. I'm really trying to minimize my Windows usage as I can't stand it and I would prefer to get FreeBSD on here so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe
