This known problem cropped up on a brand new 1U system I installed and nothing in the referred to errata appeared to help.
> > http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/errata.html > However, I finally got the group at freebsdmall to respond, and their ideas did resolve this issue. Why does the info in the errata NOT work? Two reasons: (1) I was using the loader.conf line with a "set" as the first word, like this set hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" # This does NOT work and (2), the variable I was told to use is NOT hint.acpi.0.disabled but is in fact hint.apic.0.disabled. I did read the section with the `apic' variable, but it did not seem to apply, whereas the section about the `acpi' variable did seem to apply. So, the following two lines, exactly like this, worked for me in my loader.conf, and I can now boot without safe mode: hint.apic.0.disabled="1" unset acpi_load No leading blanks, no use of the word "set", use of the variable with `apic' in it (and not acpi). The unset does turn off `acpi'. All is well now.
