I had another ACPI related problem on my asus (nvidia) a7n8x, and posted to the 'current' mailing list. One of the replies suggested how to disable acpi cleanly: At 09:17 +0200 01/01/2004, Danny Braniss wrote: >try adding in file /boot/device.hints: >hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" > >danny That worked - it changed the boot menu choice from "boot with acpi disabled" to "boot with acpi enabled". tks j At 09:56 -0500 01/02/2004, Trey Sizemore wrote: >Trey Sizemore wrote: > >>Jaroslaw Nozderko wrote: >> >>>OS: FreeBSD 5.2-RC2 (MAC - biba,mls) <snip> >>> >>Yes, see my post from earlier today called "Can't shutdown, logout, or restart cleanly." I have not run 5.1-RELEASE before, so I can't say if it didn't happen there, but it definitely happens with 5.2-CURRENT. I'm at my wit's end trying to find out why! >> >Per a post I received on bsdforums.com, try booting up with ACPI turned off. This can be done in 5.1 and later by choosing option 2 in the boot menu (Boot FreeBSD with ACPI disabled). Once I did this, it worked like a champ. I'm not sure why earlier versions may not have been affected by this or if it only affects certain hardware. > >Let me know if this worked for you. > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
