Hello i am a brand new newbie. I have just installed FreeBSD 5,3 on an old Compaq 5360 with a AMD-K6 and 128MB of ram. The install went resonably well and I have Xorg and Gnome2.8 running (installed from ports after a complete cvsup). Gnome takes a while to load but that is expected. I am getting some coaching from another newbie with 11 months FreeBSD experience. niels@compaq:~> uname -a FreeBSD compaq.sd.cox.net 5.3-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 #1: Thu Dec 30 1 2:14:21 PST 2004 niels@compaq.sd.cox.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 The following line is from dmesg: CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (450.13-MHz 586-class CPU) The biggest problem I have is that I have to boot with ACPI disabled. With ACPI enabled I get continuous errors showing calcru: negative runtime on pid (varies) Google'ing for this error shows this hit http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2004-August/000532.html (url may have wrapped) This thread deals with a 5.2.1 and was patched to correct it. Has this patch been incorporated into 5.3 Release? I cvsup'd the source and built a new world but the problem remains. Thank you in advance for any help. Niels P.S. I am subscibed to this list.
