-Current now uses ACPI (Advanced configuration and power management
support ) by default. With some machines ACPI still seems to have some
issues. If your upgrading remember to read /usr/src/UPDATING which has:
20010927:
Some weird problems result from using ACPI on some machines.
To disable ACPI you can add
hint.acpi.0.disable="1"
to /boot/loader.conf (or by putting set X=Y at the boot
loader "ok" prompt).
Alternatively, you can remove it from /boot/kernel/acpi.ko
or use the MODULES_OVERRIDE function in your kernel config
file and not list acpi in that list.
So hence: set hit.acpi.0.disable=1
at the loader will probably allow your machine to boot.
Another thought is you must have /boot/device.hints
(which make installkernel would have told you about)
else you'll get no console output.
Cheers,
Benjamin
