I just tried booting my HP Pavilion 7915 from the 5.3b1 disc1 ISO, and it hung with: ACPI APIC Table: <PTLTD APIC > ioapic0 <Version 2.0> irqs 0-23 on motherboard npx0: [FAST] npx0: <math processor> on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface acpi0: <PTLTD RSDT > on motherboard KDB: enter: Executed AML Breakpoint opcode Stopped at kdb_enter+0x2b: nop db> With 5.2.1, I saw a very similar hang, which I could avoid by booting in Safe mode; the details are at <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-June/029165.html>, and Safe mode still works (I get to sysinstall). I've tried to to upgrade the HP BIOS from 3.04 to 3.07 again, but the HP updater is still broken, and won't run on my system. FWIW, I've been running 5.2.1 successfully on this system, with ACPI disabled. Dunno if the BIOS should be blacklisted or I should try something else, but further experiments are welcomed.
