Suspend/resume works fine if second core is disabled and vesa is loaded in kernel (either via kldload or via custom kernel) Firewire and bluetooth are supported and should work without problems. Ethernet works via if_bfe; carbus, drm, sound works fine ... In short everything is supported on UP kernel except winmodem. There are some bugs in BIOS asl which I fixed adding: acpi_dsdt_load="YES" acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/acpi.aml" in /boot/loader.conf /boot/acpi.aml is modified version of ASL which address "temperature is absurd, ignored" type of messages. 8.0 CURRENT i386. -- Paul
