First Step to fixing ACPI problem

[Stephen Butler]

Hello everyone,
 
I have installed freebsd 6.2 onto a 2002 model acer travelmate 250.
 
And have the following problem,
 
When booting the laptop If I dont disable ACPI mode then it freezes and can only be shutdown by holding the power button in for about 6 seconds.
 
Disabling acpi in /boot/loader.conf takes care of the problem.
 
However this leaves me guessing when the battery is going to die and I loose some work.
 
Please let me know what info I need to post so I can get the ball rolling on this problem
 
kind Regards,
Steve.
