Hi, Ok, I managed to install FreeBSD 5.4-BETA1 (amd64) on my new (brand, new, shiny...) amd64 machine: FreeBSD quiet.kg4.no 5.4-BETA1 FreeBSD 5.4-BETA1 #0: Sat Mar 19 21:45:36 UTC 2005 root@bloom.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 The 'dmesg.boot' file is attached. However, I must disable acpi in the boot menu, or else the machine stops responding after printing the 'acd0: ...' line. The machine has a RS480M2-IL mainboard from MSI, and an Athlon 64 3000+ (1.8 GHz) cpu. There are many options that one can change in the BIOS, but this is my first amd64 machine, so I don't know which 'knobs' I can change, and which I shouldn't touch. Any hints on what I can try to enable acpi? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I upgraded BIOS to the latest version (W7093AMS V3.3 030305), but it didn't make a difference. It still hangs if I boot FreeBSD with acpi enabled. Searching Google for this doesn't give any clues either. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway

If you have the option of ACPI 2.0 support, enable that -- often the bios defaults to older ACPI version. If it doesn't work, it is a bug either in the bios or freebsd :-) Vivek Khera, Ph.D. +1-301-869-4449 x806

Yay! FreeBSD/amd64 dmesg.boot attached -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
