Thank you for your notes on the HP Compaq nx6325 and FreeBSD. I have=20
been considering this machine. It has the right features and an=20
attractive price but after some investigation I'm not sure anymore.

There is an ongoing discussion suggesting that the HP bios is broken,=20
i.e. poor compliance with ACPI specs. Users of recent Linux distros=20
report problems:=20

Sorry that I can't help with the problem. Let us hope for HP to provide=20
a bios upgrade solution.
