As explained in UPDATING on 20040630, ACPI has been updated to disable known-bad BIOS revisions. A message will be printed on the console... Machine is a dual pIII/500, MoBo is an ASUS P2B-DS (dual+scsi) Without hint.acpi.0.disabled="0" I got a "auto-reboot-without-panic" after loading kernel (or after loading/skipping ACPI, it is too fast so I can't see any message at all). Because the entry for my MoBo doesn't have a related PR, I think we have "imported" from other systems or from other "reliable sources". I'd like to know if any of you has that board because I use by over 2 years without problems. I currently have enabled back ACPI and rebuilded world again, it is up and running ;) (only a "don't know if related" problem: after switching to sound and snd_* my machine don't play any sound, device is found at boot but no mixer nor dsp are created into /dev, I will send a separate message). Other test I have done between jul/aug: - kernel without SMP, no hint: GOOD, see the disabled message - kernel with SMP, hint to enable ACPI: GOOD, no message - kernel with SMP, no hint: FAIL, AUTO-REBOOT Machine is a dual pIII/500 on this MoBo: # grep -A6 ASUS.P2B-DS /usr/src/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_quirks # ASUS P2B-DS 02/03/99 name: ASUS_P2B_DS oem: FADT "ASUS " "P2B-DS " oem_rev: FADT <= 0x58582e31 creator_rev: FADT <= 0x31303030 quirks: ACPI_Q_BROKEN # ASUS P2B-DS 10/21/99 name: ASUS_P2B_2 oem: FADT "ASUS " "P2B-DS " oem_rev: FADT <= 0x58582e32 creator_rev: FADT <= 0x31303030 quirks: ACPI_Q_BROKEN Can I vote for "removing" this MoBo from quirks? What test can I do to prove that is works? If you need an acpi dump you can found here: ftp://ftp.torrini.org/pub/FreeBSD/trudy.acpidump-vt.gz ftp://ftp.torrini.org/pub/FreeBSD/trudy.acpidump-vtd.gz (first is acpidump -v -t, second is the same plus -d) PS: please Cc:, I suspended subscription for holidays... -- Riccardo.
