Laptop details : HP Pavilion dv2000 (dv2422ca) Specifications (taken from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=au&docname=c01070158&dlc=en&l c=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_AUEN ) : Product Name: dv2422ca Product Number: GM039UA#ABC / GM039UA#ABL Microprocessor: 1.8 GHz AMD Turion T 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-56 Microprocessor Cache: 512KB+512KB L2 Cache Memory: 2048 MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) I tried to boot from 7.0-release-AMD64, 7.0-release-i386 and 6.2-release-i386 install disks (about to try 6.3-release-amd64). I could not successfully boot up the computer using the install disks mentioned. Sometimes there would be a memory dump (scrolling infinitely), sometimes I would get the following message(s) : elf_32_lookup_symbol : corrupt symbol table loading required module 'pci' ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory \ int=00000006 err=00000000 efl=00010002 eip=00000003 eax=00449130 ebx=00000000 ecx=004f010f edx=0003fa40 esi=00000000 edi=00000000 ebp=00000000 esp=000928b0 cs=0008 ds=0010 es=0010 fs=0010 gs=0010 ss=0010 cs:eip= f0 53 ff 00 f0 c3 e2 00-f0 53 ff 00 f0 53 ff 00 f0 54 ff 00 f0 8a a8 00-f0 53 ff 00 f0 a5 fe 00 ss:esp= 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 BTX halted There is no significant BIOS option in this laptop that I can think of to at least begin to trouble shoot this issue. Laptop works fine for other operating systems as far as I can tell. Initial documentation suggests that this laptop should work, however, I'd like to get some more insight from freebsd-stable before continuing. If any additional information is required, please let me know. Cheers, Kevin K.

It should also be important to note that sometimes it 'dumps' before getting to the boot options screen in the freebsd startup. If I do get to that screen, I have tried "disable ACPI", to no effect. ~k

Pressing 6 and > entering : > > > set hint.apic.0.disabled=1 > set hint.sio.0.disabled=1 > set hint.sio.1.disabled=1Just tried the above with 6.3-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806) , as well as 7.0-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806), with pressing the spacebar, pressing 6 at boot screen and typing the above options. For 6.3-RELEASE, it actually got to sysinstall. For 7.0-RELEASE, it seemed to hang at "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0". When I have time (tonight perhaps), I will try to do a full install of 6.3-RELEASE and see how that functions. Unfortunately there are no amd64 snapshots for 200807, so if I cant install 6.3 I may wait until more updated snapshots come out. ~k
