Following up on my own post, I have discovered that FreeBSD 3.5.1 works
fine with the laptop. 4.0-RELEASE - 4.1.1-RELEASE fail with:
"panic: resource_list_alloc: resource entry is busy" right after
"busmastering DMA not supported". 4.2-RELEASE onwards fail as below.

can anyone uggest anything that I may be able to do? Or how to best solve
this? I'm happy to install 3.5.1 and try to figure out which commit to 4.0
broke things, but i'm guessing somebody has had this problem before
(though googling revelaed nothing...)

Thanks,

Gavin
