Re: How can I turn off acpi 100%?
Hi, was comming. Mistake. It comes up fine, I think because all I can see are: acpi_cmbat0: bif size changed 0 at what looks like several per second. In single user I am getting: acpi-ec0: evaluation of CPE query method _Q3F failed - AE_NOT_FOUND Hmm, I think these two problems are the same; i.e. Embedded Controller problem. Could you get ACPI data from your machine, like # acpidump -o Compaq_1700.dsdt Compaq_1700.asl and send them (plus boot -v dmesg) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? How can I turn all this off? Can I send any info that might help someone else? It's very easy to disable ACPI, but I think we had better to improve our ACPI implementation :-) Because newer Intel-based machines (not only Laptops) have become strongly depending on ACPI.

I just realized that booting an old kernel doesn't stop the errors.

Re: How can I turn off acpi 100%?
David, You are a life saver, as you so often are. I am copying this to the developers so they can let me know what they need because this Compaq seems to be a mess. I'll add this to my hints and see what happens. Thanks again, ed Quoting David Wolfskill [EMAIL PROTECTED]: | Per Mike Smith's message of Wed, 29 Aug 2001 19:58:59 -0700: | | - Help! ACPI crashes my system. | | You can disable ACPI by unsetting the 'acpi_load' variable in the | loader (for temporary testing) or by setting | | hint.acpi.0.disable=1 | | in /boot/device.hints. If you find that you need to do this, please | let the FreeBSD ACPI developers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) know so that | we can investigate the problem. | | | Cheers, | david | -- | David H.
