Experiments with 6.0-STABLE x86 (so, really, amd64 readers ca= n=20 switch off) show the following: 1) 6.0-R x86 can be installed if ACPI is switched off. 2) With ACPI off, an interrupt storm will use 97% of CPU or so, so the=20 installation takes a long time. It may be worth digging out a 2x CDROM driv= e,=20 since I couldn't get a 52x to stay stable long enough to install from. 3) The DSDT is just so totally fscked on this system you need to hex-edit i= t=20 to fix it. I'll post a partly-fixed DSDT on a website if anyone needs it.=20 This causes checksum errors, but that doesn't seem to bother the system. 4) With the fixed DSDT and TFH "11.16.5.3 Overriding the Default AML" you c= an=20 boot with ACPI enabled and the interrupt storms will be over. 4a) Fixing the rest of the AML is beyond my ken, since it's got methods use= d=20 before definition (can I just move them up in the source file?). 4b) If that's fixed, then there's a bunch of If(SS1) statements outside of= =20 method bodies; SS1 is defined as constant 1 elsewhere, so this looks like=20 it's intended to be conditional compilation, which the current iasl doesn't= =20 support. 4c) If anyone else feels like looking at the ASL, I'll post it somewhere. 5) I just panic'ed the system while downloading portupgrade and accessing t= he=20 CDROM drive concurrently, so stability is an issue. =2D-=20 These are your friends - Adem GPG: FEA2 A3FE Adriaan de Groot --nextPart1903168.3AckSPnWF1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDr0jFdqzuAf6io/4RAqsDAJ9YIIJWmC1SGeq40uMF1XLq7IFQmgCdHzaT uwVQFysF2VdZAbMCQiWwILM= =a3D4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1903168.3AckSPnWF1--
