Hi, i'm having issues with a 4 year or so old laptop, if I disable acpi, the CPU is reported at 168 MHz and the clock tends to jump about abit. It's a Pentium 3 650 MHz With speed step, which I *think* is causing the issues. With ACPI enabled, it hangs at Mounting NFS Partitions, after devd etc, although I don't have any nfs mounts. Without ACPI enabled, it boots with the lower clock speed being reported, and intermittent clock jumps, which is causing me to have ntpdate running on a 60 second cron. However, I'm not entirely sure the laptop supports acpi, as I experienced no issues on FreeBsd 4.x, however, it's now running 5.3-STABLE (7 day old cvsup). If anyone could shed some light on this as to what I could do to correct it, or some sort of patch, other than updating the bios, as that isn't possible due to the lack of a working floppy drive, that would be great. Thanks Joe Holden
