Hello, I installed a i386 FreeBSD 6.1 to a brand new machine, CPU: Athlon 64 2GHz MB: BIOSTAR T-series TForce 6100-939 It installed fine, works fine for a while (15 - 20 minutes), then all of sudden, the machine goes down. It's not a freeze. It prints out something (which I cannot read) and turns itself off. Maybe it's trying to do sleep. The machine, then trys to start up. The fan spins, disk spins up, then stops again. Then, fans spins, disk spins, then stops again. It repeats the spin up and down a few times, and finally it stops. It is quite amusing, and looks like the machine is haunted. I reboot the machine. It runs for some time, and then does the same thing. It runs about 15minutes or so. Maybe longer, maybe shorter, but, it's long enough to do some operation. If I disable ACPI in the BIOS, it keeps running. If I enable ACPI in BIOS, but choose disable ACPI option for the boot, it keeps running. However, when I did acpiconf -s 1, it fails to sleep, citing that an USB is not willing to go sleep. I ended up giving up on 6.1, and reinstalled with 5.5. This works just fine. So, why does the machine act so oddly when I install 6.1? I don't have a strong reason to install 6.1, but, would be nice if I could use the keyboard multiplexing as I use USB KVM and would be very handy to have it. -- Naoyuki "Tai" Tai, ntai a t smartfruit d o t com
