I was attached a wrong one. Here is my latest, not sure this is
appropriate though, just for reference.

I'm using Dell M4400.
At first, it has a problem when acpi is loaded. Kerenl shows a panic
message with default config,
so I had to look for a workaround.
I read acpi(4) manpage, then append loader.conf
debug.acpi.disabled=cmbat
it was necessary to boot. But still boot strap has stopped with ACPI
module when following message
is displayed.
isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices
After I put some debug prints around it, I found ACPICA needs to be updated.
1. go, accept the license, then download latest 102310 from www.acpica.org
2. replace sys/contrib/dev/acpica-unix with latest
3. apply necessary changes on sys/dev/acpica5.
I attach my wild patch for a reference - not sure it is right
modification though : )
4. compile the kernel, install.
Now my Dell laptop got booted with no trouble (hw.acpi_io_enable=0 is
required for SMP though)
So far, even if your laptop is not booted with default kernel, you can
still have fun to find out a
workaround. Now I'm playing with wifi (iwn0).
Enjoy!

Greetings all,
My old laptop, an HP Compaq nx6120 is playing up in a number of different
ways, so it looks like retirement time.
What's a good reliable model?
Any recommendations?
There's a number of laptops mentioned on the dragonflybsd.org website.
Several people have been using IBM/Lenovo laptops with general success.
The standard netbook model usually works - Atom processor, etc, if you
want that size of computer.
