On the page http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/i386/proc.html it states: The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line to /boot/device.hints: hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" But a developer friend of mine insists the line should read hint.acpi.0.disable="1" without a "d" And truth be told, it doesn't matter wether EITHER of these lines are in the device.hints file. ACPI works or it doesn't, randomly, regardless of any changes I make. My system has an AMBIOS ( release "9/13/2002 s") if that helps. I'd have used send-pr, but i can't even get this system to see a floppy, much less recognize my modem. And it seemed like a documentation problem, too. Thanks for all your hard work, -dls
