     Hello.

     I’ve just got a Lenovo ThinkPad S440 and would like to test FreeBSD
     10.2-BETA2 on it. I’ve tried with the UEFI memstick image
     (FreeBSD-10.2-BETA2-amd64-uefi-mini-memstick.img.xz). Unfortunately,
     shortly after the installer starts, the screen fills with errors
     related to ACPI thermal zones:

     ACPI Exception: AE_BAD_ADDRESS, Returned by Handler for
     [EmbeddedControl] (20150515/evregion-312) S (20150515/psparse-552)

     I have tested some features of the acpi_ibm, some do not work: fan
     control, for example, but I’m not sure I’m doing it right and this
     is an issue for later.

     I’ve created a PR with the information asked for in the ACPI chapter
     of the handbook:
     https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201678

     Best regards,
     Juan

IIRC, fan control has not worked since the days of the T61. Newer BIOS
end EC don't seem to work. The "ACPI Exception: AE_BAD_ADDRESS" has
shown up on various systems for a while.It's reportedly harmless.

Thanks Kevin. Could you please give me a hint for silencing these
errors? They are making very hard to use the installer or live USB for
testing purposes. I guess the BIOS will take care of thermal and fan
control.

As a workaround you can exit the installer, change to another terminal,
e.g. "Alt+F2", and start "bsdinstall". (If you need to login, enter
"root" and no password).

Thanks Lars, I’m silly: I had not realized that the Fx keys in this laptop have to be toggled-on with the Fn key, and somehow concluded that the memstick installer supports only one terminal…

Nevertheless, I hope support for these laptops improve. I have not tested yet several suggestions found on the internet to enable LCD brightness adjustment or keyboard backlight, which with suspend/resume do not work out of the box, neither the Intel 7260 Wireless chip and for sure the Haswell GPU.

Unfortunately, I can only provide time for testing patches.

Best regards,
Juan
