I don't suppose kldload -v shows anything useful about the problem loading it? Ah, never mind, it may be obvious .. lightly skimming your asl.y530.gz, I recalled folks having to patch something for Lenovo rather than IBM OEMIDs .. hunt, hunt .. ok, here it is: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/164538 > I assume this is either missing a device ID and/or not the right driver at all. Hopefully adding the LEN0068 to ibm_ids might allow acpi_ibm to load; if not more digging may be needed for this model. > I mentioned this was a Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 I'm assuming running 9.x? I didn't see uname output in this thread. Strange; according to that PR this was supposed to have been MFC'd last November, but didn't make it into 9.1-RELEASE sources. Committer cc'd. cheers, Ian
