On a Gateway ML6732 notebook, FreeBSD 9-stable is working great. Video works (i915), sound works, the only thing that isn't quite right is that the first character typed after the FreeBSD kernel loads is lost. After that, it works normally. This makes entering a passphrase more challenging. Any suggestions on what to check? ACPI? atkbd hints? Currently it's running 9-stable, but did the same thing with 8.x. Of course it works normally for the BIOS and boot menu, FreeBSD loader menu, Windows, and Xubuntu. The system is not terribly old, a Pentium Dual T2390, and this is with a GENERIC kernel. sysctl shows dev.atkbdc.0.%desc: Keyboard controller (i8042) dev.atkbdc.0.%driver: atkbdc dev.atkbdc.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K dev.atkbdc.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0303 _UID=0 dev.atkbdc.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.atkbd.0.%desc: AT Keyboard dev.atkbd.0.%driver: atkbd dev.atkbd.0.%parent: atkbdc0 dmesg shows atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbd0 at atkbd0 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
