Getting a bit bored with this, I hunted back through the -acpi archives tonight to find the exact issue .. a refresh cycle for failing memory :) http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2008-January/thread.html has several mentions of this: the PR+patch, tested, MFC'd to 7-STABLE: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2008-January/004380.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2008-January/004441.html among others, and especially: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=114722 [..] > I would try installing 7-stable and rerunning the tests, perhaps posting the > results with slightly less verbosity as each message is becoming inordinately > long and cluttered with too much information.

That's all from me on this one .. cheers, Ian
