Affects newer HP/Compaq laptops. Full report at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=amd64/67745 I'm reposting this bug under i386 because it is not an AMD64 problem. Affects Pentium 4 laptops as well as AMD64's under i386 mode. Compaq Presario R3000Z series, including the X1000, R3030, R3140US, and HP Pavilion zv5000z. A person more knowledgeable than I posted some technical details about this problem at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2004-June/001636.html . My apologies if this sort of reposting violates gnats-etiquette. My intentions are good: this bug hasn't gotten the attention it deserves categorized as amd64, and many Compaq Presario users want to run FreeBSD. Thank you, -Jeff Connelly >How-To-Repeat: Boot from any recent FreeBSD or FreeSBIE CD on an affected laptop. >Fix: None known. (Workaround: NetBSD or Linux.) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
