Hmm, we need further info. on this. Please add the following lines into your /boor/loader.conf: ---- hw.acpi.verbose=1 debug.acpi.layer="ACPI_ALL_COMPONENTS ACPI_BUS" debug.acpi.level="ACPI_LV_WARN ACPI_LV_ERROR ACPI_LV_OBJECTS" ---- Then you'll get thermal operation messages, something like: Nov 26 19:34:13 mybox kernel: acpi_tz0: _AC0: temperature 60.0 >= setpoint 60.0 Nov 26 19:34:13 mybox kernel: acpi_tz0: switched from NONE to _AC0: 60.0C We need the messages like this, acpidump output, and sysctl hw.acpi output to track this down. BTW, does new acpica patches give any effects for your? http://people.freebsd.org/~iwasaki/acpi/acpica-20021002-20021118-test20021121.diff Thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
