in an effort to save others time, 

acpi must be enabled for the system to boot on intel
d865perlk MB and
promise s150 tx4. installed from release cd its ok,
but not stable;
select option 2 (w/o acpi) and kernel will panic
"can't find rootvp".
cvsup to stable or current and acpi appears to be off
by default and
will fail. add option "device acpi" to kernel before
reboot and it will
work. 

good luck

jon
