Have a look at the release notes for 5.x.  Here are the english ones
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/hardware-i386.html

Here is the bit I think may be of use to you.  It may not be the answer but it 
may help.

Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the Advanced Configuration 
and Power Management (ACPI) standard. FreeBSD supports ACPI via the ACPI 
Component Architecture reference implementation from Intel, as described in 
the acpi(4) manual page. The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some 
machines and it may be necessary to disable the ACPI driver, which is 
normally loaded via a kernel module. This may be accomplished by adding the 
following line to /boot/device.hints:


hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"


Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful to disable portions 
of the ACPI functionality. The acpi(4) manual page has more information on 
how to do this via loader tunables.


ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table (DSDT) provided by 
each machine's BIOS. Some machines have bad or incomplete DSDTs, which 
prevents ACPI from functioning correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines 
can be found at the DSDT section of the ACPI4Linux project Web site. FreeBSD 
can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the 
acpi(4) manual page for more information.
