The laptop in question is Acer's Aspire 5672 (the series is called Aspire 5670), which is a machine with Intel Core Duo (ie 32-bit) cpu, 2 GB RAM and a ATI Radeon X1600 gfx chip onboard. Now upgraded to FreeBSD 7.1-stable: tingo@kg-home$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-home.kg4.no 7.1-STABLE FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE #2: Thu Jan 8 19:30:11 CET 2009 root@kg-home.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 The problem is that drivers for the nic's (both wired and wireless) will not attach when acpi is enabled: bge0: irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci4 bge0: 0x10000 bytes of rid 0x10 res 3 failed (0, 0xffffffff). bge0: couldn't map memory device_attach: bge0 attach returned 6 wpi0: irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3 wpi0: 0x1000 bytes of rid 0x10 res 3 failed (0, 0xffffffff). wpi0: could not allocate memory resource device_attach: wpi0 attach returned 6 When acpi is disabled, they attach and work fine: bge0: mem 0xc8300000-0xc830ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci4 miibus0: on bge0 brgphy0: PHY 1 on miibus0 brgphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-FDX, auto bge0: Ethernet address: 00:16:36:54:a9:ae bge0: [ITHREAD] wpi0: mem 0xc8200000-0xc8200fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3 wpi0: Ethernet address: 00:13:02:3e:d4:ce wpi0: [ITHREAD] wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 1 wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 3 wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 4 wpi0: link state changed to UP So why don't I just use the laptop with acpi disabled? Because it runs very hot, I fear that it will overheat. And thermal managment doesn't kick in / work correctly when acpi is disabled. :-( The laptop have the latest bios available from Acer. I have tried to look for updated DSDT's, bios modifications an whatnot, but haven't found anything working. FWIW, Xubuntu works without problems[2] on this very same laptop. There are dmesgs, acpidumps etc. on the pages I have made for this laptop. If anybody have hints on how to get acpi working on this laptop, I will be very happy.
