Well yours probably also get down to start_init if you boot in verbose mode (-v at the boot prompt). I think it has something to do with any video mode switching that occurs when its entering multiuser moder (or maybe i'm just so wrong here, just speculations) > > See also: (weird that i missed this mail) > > Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 21:16:15 +0100 > From: Wilko Bulte > Subject: ACPI locks up during boot on Compaq EVO N10 > To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org > > Hi, > > I could use some expert advice on the following. > I recently loaded 5.0-RELEASE on my Compaq EVO N160 laptop. > > Given that this is a newish laptop which really depends on > ACPI FreeBSD 5 is the way to go. 4.7-stable runs fine on it, > but lacks all power management etc. > > Unfortunately during boot the machine locks up with a couple > of ACPI messages.

I tried -current around late july and I remeber that acpi worked somewhat, becuase the system told me when the laptop was running on battery and when it was not. Also the s-video tv-out port worked back then, it never worked i 4.x and does not work with my 5.0R with acpi disabled. If I try tv-out now the machine just hangs, think it's because it can't power down the laptop screen. > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
