Hello, So my nice shiny new ASUS A8N-VM came in the mail today, and well, the system kernel panics if I try to boot it with ACPI. This happens in both the i386 and AMD64 6.0-RELEASE installs. The issue is the same one in this pr: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=standards/90871 The error message I recieve is exactly identical to the one in that pr. Posted here for convenience: Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0397: *** Error: NsSearchAndEnter: Bad character in ACPI Name: 43005350 Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0381: *** Error: Looking up [0x43005350] (NON-ASCII) Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: in namespace, AE_BAD_CHARACTER Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0204: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load namespace: AE_BAD_CHARACTER Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0213: *** Error: AcpiLoadTables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_CHARACTER Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI: table load failed: AE_BAD_CHARACTER The system then panics, waits 15 seconds and reboots. If I boot the system without ACPI, it boots up, however my ata controller drops to ata-33. My system is near what is listed in that pr, with a slightly different motherboard. MB: ASUS A8N-VM (not the CSM model as in the pr - same bios though) CPU: Athlon64 3000+ 1 gig of RAM. 2 ATA-100 120 Gig Seagate drives. If there is any additional information that might help with this issue please let me know. I'm sure if this is fixable on the driver end or if I need to bug ASUS to fix it in the bios but this seemed like a good place to start. Thank you for your time, -Justin Settle
