I'm in the process of setting up 6.2-RELEASE
on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 (2.0 GHz, 512 MB, 1600x1200x16)
for a friend.
Most of what I put together so far comes from the Installation
CD, with a custom kernel based on my previous experience with
this hardware on 6.1-R.
At this point in the process, most things "just work",
without much trouble (e.g., X.org, PCM sound, USB, etc.).
Two exceptions, however, are the following:
1. ACPI resume from "acpiconf -s 3" fails to reset
ad0 properly, which results in a kernel panic,
and hence, a failed resume-from-suspend.
2. The IPv4 address information for the miniPCI-based
wi0 device "goes away" after some (random) period of
being connected, all-the-while being associated with the AP.
Neither of these should be show-stoppers for the new owner
of the notebook.
I'm very interested in working toward a solution for the
first issue, since I own the same hardware, and would
like to implemented ACPI on it
(in place of APM, which handles suspend/resume reliably).
The second issue just bugs me, since I haven't yet found
any explanation for this behavior
(I tried two different wi(4)-based miniPCI cards,
with different firmware, with the same unexplained
results).
For completeness, I put the text output of a verbose boot
dmesg(8) here:
<http://drgerlists.googlepages.com/dmesgvtsp61kymsa.txt>;
Discussion on either or both issues is welcome,
as the new owner is anxious to take their new
FreeBSD notebook home working as well as it can.
