I don't think so; I'm fairly sure this is the second issue listed above. I have a lot of PCI-related work that is sort-of-ready for integration which starts us down the path to fix this, but I need time to clean it up and test it, and I don't want to inflict *too* much misery on people all at once. It's also what I was working on the night I got hit... *shiver* To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

ACPI: HEADS UP (ACPI CA update)
I've just updated the ACPI CA components to the latest Intel release. You can read the release notes on Intel's website (http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi). In addition, I've changed the default ACPI initialisation to the full, recommended-by-the-standard set of passes over the namespace. This has the potential to cause problems on some systems. If you are already using the debug.acpi.avoid sysctl, you will get the old behaviour (since the avoid mechanism does not affect some parts of the namespace initialisation). If the latest code locks up during device probes, try ok set debug.acpi.avoid="" at the loader prompt. Outstanding issues: - The ACPI timecounter does not work on some ALi chipsets. - ACPI mode results in some PCI devices not being configured by the BIOS.
