I too have Armada m700 and am seeing the problem. The right solution is to have HP/Compaq fix the BIOS (which isn't likely) or to get someone who has a clue about ACPI look at our acpidump and find what's wrong there and fix the BIOS locally (ACPI configuration can be fetched from disk instead of from BIOS). The reason our computers don't boot is that under newer -current with ACPI it's either full HW configuration via ACPI and m700's ACPI does define our PCI bus (or something) wrong way (or there's a bug in ACPI code in -current). Meanwhile (forever I suppose) you could disable ACPI permanently by adding hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 to /boot/loader.conf[.local]. I also have hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x3" in there which helps with using my m700 with the docking station BTW. -- Michal Mertl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
