Does it work if you disable ACPI? Have a look through PR "i386/104678: SMP not working on Turion XP Laptop" and see if this helps. >Anyway I was wondering about installing FreeBSD Stable on a > Compaq Presario AMD Sempron Processor 3500+ 1.8GHz Laptop (V6317CA) - >Future Shop Exclusive > >Will this go through the same problems as a dv6308ca pavilion? Without knowing exactly what problem you are having on the dv6308ca, it's difficult to answer this. Note that, based on my experiences trying to resolve a faulty-on- delivery laptop with HP Support , I would not recommend buying HP at all. --=20 Peter Jeremy --TeJTyD9hb8KJN2Jy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGO5NE/opHv/APuIcRAkceAJ478RBMVE2QQZipvDkW2xRokTKnHgCfXDJa +vsRXeBHWOPDPAG1Isi+eb8= =c4dy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --TeJTyD9hb8KJN2Jy--
