It seems to be a bug when using anything 5.x and above with any Toshiba laptops and also some acer models.
I found this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2004-March/003501.html Unfortunately I haven't managed to find a 'reason' for the occurrence, and im new to debugging freebsd and issues such as this, so don't really know where to start the investigation myself. If anyone else can suggest a good start point, im happy to test any fixes/patches. I'm guessing this is a new install (as you wouldn't have been able to perform the installation yet, as it crashes on boot, unless its an updated 4.x), try this: When booting (be it from cd, or from hdd), stop the boot by pressing "any other key" then at the prompt, type: set hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0 Once typed, type "boot" (without the "'s obviously) and attempt to continue your installation. Once the system is installed happily, add "hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0" (again, without "'s) to /boot/loader.conf. This should hopefully allow you to boot, Hope this helps, Best Regards, Graham Lilley Hardware / Network Engineer Ibex Systems Ltd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Oberman Sent: 11 March 2005 00:34 To: lucas galete Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 5.3 crash on boot > Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 21:23:42 -0300 > From: lucas galete <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > i was using the freeBsd 4.x, and it run ok. but now i need install the > 5.3 version, but it stop on boot. i think that's something related to > ACPI.

Exactly where does it stop in the boot? Does the kernel load? Is this an upgrade or a new install? A few more details will be needed to do more than guess. -- R.
