Hello everyone,
=20
I have installed freebsd 6.2 onto a 2002 model acer travelmate 250.
=20
And have the following problem,
=20
When booting the laptop If I dont disable ACPI mode then it freezes and can=
 only be shutdown by holding the power button in for about 6 seconds.
=20
Disabling acpi in /boot/loader.conf takes care of the problem.
=20
However this leaves me guessing when the battery is going to die and I loos=
e some work.
=20
Please let me know what info I need to post so I can get the ball rolling o=
n this problem
=20
kind Regards,
Steve.
