It's likely that the ACPI implementation of your BIOS has its own quirks that have not been taken into account for in the FreeBSD ACPI implementation. I would suggest upgrading to the latest BIOS if you are not already there. > Because I'm having a hard time turning my > computer back on whenever I presses the power button > during a reboot by Freebsd and I would have to turn > the power on and off for quite some times just to be > able to boot it to normal again. Not sure I fully understand here. But, if I'm reading this correctly as: "I have problems turning my computer back on after issuing a 'shutdown -p now'" I would suggest instead of trying a bunch of times turning the machine on and off, hold the power button in for 5 seconds, and then power on. Holding the power button in for 5 seconds _forces_ the system to shut off in all but the most extreme cases of failures. Your system may have become unresponsive after the 'shutdown -p now'... Cheers, Derek
