I'm tracking RELENG_5_1 at home on my desktop machine, which has an Abit IC7-G for the motherboard. The relevant bit here is that I upgraded that machine from RELENG_4 after I upgraded the hardware. It's been almost 2 months now, so my memory is hazy, but I think if you're going to run 4-S on it, you have to run ACPI. I can tell you that 5.1-R right off the CD was just fine with it (I did a binary upgrade then CVSup'd the (very few) changes to avoid issues like back when things went from a.out to ELF).
