Hello I'm installing FreeBSD 6.2 (first time experience) on an oldish computer and got this ACPI panic when booting the install CD: ACPI APIC Table: <ASUS P2B-D> Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (551.25-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x673 Stepping = 3 Features = 0x383fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE> real memory = 536858624 (511 MB) avail memory = 511750144 (488 MB) ACPI disabled by blacklist. Contact your BIOS vendor. MADT: ACPI Startup failed with AE_ERROR Try disabling either ACPI or apic support. panic: using MADT but ACPI doesn't work Uptime: 1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Booting with ACPI disabled works ok, so no big deal I take it the "blacklist" warning means that this hardware's ACPI just isn't supported currently? And what does the "contact your BIOS vendor" message mean? Is this something that can be fixed by upgrading firmware/BIOS? Thanks -John
