Having been unable to confirm a complete and proper installation of 5.0-CURRENT on my Sony PCG-SRX7/EP (similar to SRX77) laptop using the 4.5-RELEASE installer, I have made a bootable CD from 5.0-20020313-CURRENT, as well as floppies from 5.0-20020314-CURRENT. Both exhibit the same set of symptoms. *or* after moving through the boot process and forcing the 'OK' prompt, enter: set hw.pcic.intr_path=1 set hw.pcic.irq=0 boot *or* set acpi_load="no" set hw.pcic.intr_path=1 set hw.pcic.irq=0 boot *or* unset acpi_load set hw.pcic.intr_path=1 set hw.pcic.irq=0 boot Results in: ACPI autoload failed - no such file or directory - [dump followed] *or* unset acpi_load boot Results in a crash dump before anything else happens What am I missing here? This laptop has been able to successfully boot 4.5-RELEASE CD (with the hw.pcic changes above), install 4.5-RELEASE, boot, and run that OS. A similar issue was reported - but looks to be a different problem.

There is not enough space on the kern.flp to copy acpi.ko to that floppy, and my belief (which may be incorrect) is that since this is during the kernel load, mfsroot still hasn't appeared to the loader. Nothing clear on disabling acpi in acpi (4) manpage, and the referenced acpi (9) manpage does not come up on the FreeBSD manpage web site (as I don't have 5.0 installed yet). Any suggestions, or is it time for GNATS? Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
