I've got a strange problem wrt. ACPI on one of my boxes under FreeBSD
5.3: The box comes up with ACPI *disabled* by default.
Only by manually selecting the menu option that says "Boot with ACPI enabled" can I make the box run ACPI which is kinda annoying when e.g. I remotely reboot the box - after the reboot it comes up without ACPI and as a consequence SMP turned off.
To cross check that it's not a config issue I've "diffed" the files in /boot between the machine in question and another one that runs with ACPI enabled by default - absolutely no differences. One box (different hardware) runs with ACPI, this one runs with ACPI disabled by default.
Sorry about the long reply time.
So my questions are:
1) How can I make this box boot with ACPI enabled by default?
In your /boot/loader.conf, set: hint.acpi.0.disabled="0"
2) Why does this box come up without ACPI by default after all?
I checked the quirks table and found nothing that should match your machine. Can you send a full dmesg of booting when acpi is automatically disabled? There's usually a quirk message printed if this is the case.
