Best Regards. ----------------------- Please note that apic and acpi are very different things. You seem to be confusing them. loader.conf(5) doesn't mention either one on my 5-STABLE system. The example in device.hints is for acpi. But there is considerably more information about acpi in the acpi(4) man page, with a lot of loader.conf tunables you can set regarding acpi. One of them will disable it completely, but the syntax is different than you would use in device.hints. Also note that there is a whole chapter on "Using and Debugging FreeBSD ACPI" in the FreeBSD Handbook.
