ACPI errors and panic
Hi, I have just recently installed -CURRENT on my desktop as I've been using it succesfully on a server for months now. However this desktop has much more advanced hardware. Whilst it does work perfectly and I have device support for everything I get a lot of ACPI errors on bootup and also a panic when I try to reboot it, though luckily after it's synced the disks. I have saved the dmesg output to http://tao.xtaz.co.uk/dmesg.txt I was wondering if somebody could tell me what all those errors (and the random gibberish at the top) is about. I also assume that the panic happens right as the o/s tries to reset the system. I've tried turning off acpi in the bios but freebsd still see's it all and it has no affect. Is there anything I can do regarding sysctl.conf etc to prevent all this? Or alternatively if there is a problem do you know how to go abotu fixing it rather than just trynig to disable it?

Matt, It seems like the fix right now is to disable it. Put this line: hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints dave racette To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

It seems like the fix right now is to disable it. Put this line: hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints Thankyou, this has given me a nice clean bootup now and I can reboot without it panicing. I'm still curious to learn what all that stuff ment though! --- Matt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.xtaz.co.uk/ --- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
