My EVO N160 used to panic a few months back with ACPI enabled on -CURRENT. As of this week it hangs just after display the 'mounting root' message. It did show a successful probe for the firewire though, with ACPI enabled that is :-/ Lacking a builtin serial port no serial console possibility either. Without ACPI the machine as such is stable. cardbus works, builtin fxp ethernet works etc. W/ -- | / o / /_ _ wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
