Ok, can I please draw your attention to my message of a few days ago, with Subject: "Internal DVD drive not recognised and ACPI error messages at boot." I see error messages like the following at boot time: acpi0: reservation of fee00000, 1000 (3) failed acpi0: reservation of 0, a0000 (3) failed acpi0: reservation of 100000, cff00000 (3) failed and my internal DVD drive is just not recognised. I included a verbose boot log and a kernel config file in the earlier message. So far there have been no responses to that message. Please don't get me wrong. I am not impatient, I am not demanding that someone fix my computer, and I realise that the developers of FreeBSD give their time and I am hugely grateful for that. I just thought I ought to respond to your assertion that there are no problems that matter. I don't know whether or not the acpi problems are causing the DVD drive to be ignored, but at least I have reported it so, as you say, hopefully it can be looked at before -RC2. Best wishes, Tony
