Hi, there are a lot of different errors in various document regarding acpi that are wrong. In 'man acpi' it says that 'hint.acpi.0.disabled' should be placed in loader.conf. ------------- LOADER TUNABLES Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in /boot/loader.conf. Many of these tunables also have a matching sysctl(8) entry for access after boot. ... hint.acpi.0.disabled Set this to 1 to disable all of ACPI. If ACPI has been disabled on your system due to a blacklist entry for your BIOS, you can set this to 0 to re-enable ACPI for testing. ... ------------- In 'man loader' it says: ------------- acpi_load Unset this to disable automatic loading of the ACPI module. See also hint.acpi.0.disabled in device.hints(5). ------------- In 'man device.hints' ------------- The following example disables the ACPI driver: hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" ------------- http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/laptop/article.html page also states that it should be in device.hints. Well, these are the ones I have found. There are a lot of misconfusion in various forums what to put where and how its done. Maybe its accurate on both places, but then that should be noted somewhere. /Bjorn
