Ok. It's still not really clear to me whether the pause occurs during or after loading acpi.ko, but I'm suspecting afterwards, as there don't appear to be any ACPI issues logged. I noticed nothing obvious in your verbose dmesg, but me noticing nothing says very little indeed .. Does this laptop have a floppy drive? A serial port? If so, they seem to not be being properly detected. If not, perhaps they may exist on an optional docking station, which may explain the probe attempts? Unless somebody here spots something soon, as it's 7.0-RC1 I'd suggest reposting this to freebsd-stable@ providing the full HP model number. cheers, Ian > The full verbose log is here: > ========================================================= [..]
