If you're sure your ACPI works without any problems add acpi_load="YES" to your loader.conf. (that might not be the "correct" solution, but it should work).

freebsd on a newer pc
trying to install freebsd 6.1 on a hp dc7100 (p4 3.4, sata, a pci-x slot, etc). im having a couple issues getting it up and running with freebsd. main issue is, i cannot get the system to power off with acpi. it will shutdown, but it stops at a screen that just says "the system has powered off with acpi, hit any key to reboot", or something along that nature. ideally, i would like to figure out how to get it to behave normally, and fully power itself off when i give it 'shutdown -p now'. the bios mentions lots of S3 related stuff under power management, but i dont have a good understanding of what that does. i did try disabling some stuff, but it had no effect on powerdown behavior. i would appreciate any advice anyone has. thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
