OK, your original email mentioned an "error" when you tried disabling
ACPI.  It was not apparent that this worked around the problem.

Your machine may have a buggy ACPI implementation, or FreeBSD's ACPI
support might be buggy with respect to your hardware.  You should be
able to obtain more information using the ACPI_DEBUG kernel config
option (i.e. build a custom kernel), but exactly what to try and how
to interpret it will require the services of an ACPI guru.  Try asking
your question again on acpi-jp@jp.freebsd.org if no-one else chimes in
here (include full information so they don't have to back-and-forth
again).
