 On that machine (I've previously send the configuration) after :
 
 1 - Upgrading to FreeBSD 5.2.1 - p9
 2 - upgrading my BIOS from eSupport
 
 The problem is solved. So you can closed the report.
 
 I think the problem was due (not to FreeBSD) but to my BIOS which was 
 not full ACPI compatible.
 So I recommend for others users having the same problem, to first check 
 at eSupport if a more recent BIOS isn't available and if it exist, to 
 upgrade. It seems that SMP motherboard's (even compatibles with SMP 1.4 
 specs) have problem with ACPI due to bios.
 
 Hope this help.
 
 A special THX for the FreeBSD kernel team : good job !
