Hmm, I can't see any reason for that symptom, have never heard before and=20 can't verify that, but I'd suggested to disable ACPI and see if that=20 helps. Often you get old hardware with broken ACPI BIOS implementations,=20 and I guess you won't find a standard compliant update for a 200Mhz=20 anything (guessing i386) CPU! So try to set 'hint.acpi.0.disabled=3D1' in /boot/loader.conf If that helps, please provide feedback, then probably your BIOS has to be=20 blacklisted, so nobody else has to run into the same problem. =2DHarry --nextPart3104806.qfLZWiGF3V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDCpcgBylq0S4AzzwRAkfxAJ9Z1QDWO8g3yCB7q4RrwdRhrVW1TACdGokO +3zwQ5u6ilioddDtDi4B6TY= =WhqY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3104806.qfLZWiGF3V--
