I took the plunge. My Z505JE now runs -current. A couple of things I have observed: rebooting with other than ctrl-alt-del doesn't result in rc.shutdown being run, which means I have to whomp on the keyboard at the next reboot. Am I doing something wrong that 'shutdown' and 'reboot' don't run rc.shutdown? Also, if I compile device acpica into the kernel, it hangs probing and attaching ACPI stuff. In particular, it gets a little further if I put an ENXIO at the start of acpi_tz's attach routine, but after doing that a couple times in acpi_*_attach() I gave up. I don't see a lot in the recent archives of -current, so either everyone but me is running with ACPI happily or everyone knows to keep away. I'm not sure which. :-) Those paying attention on -hackers know I've offered a prize for a jogdial driver. I've gotten some stuff off the web and am hoping to take a crack at a spic driver (Sony Programmable I/O Controller), but I think I need working ACPI first.
