Antwort: HELP FBSD WONT BOOT Toshiba Satelite A30

[Eric Parsonage]

To All those that replied thanks.

Some have asked if I have used a boot manager. Unfortunately I am not even at that stage I havent managed to boot from the CD and do an install. Some asked if I tried booting without ACPI  and yes I have tried all of the prompts.

To Orm in particular

I have been using FBSD for about 4 years and never had to use the loader prompt until now so I probably have done this wrong.

I entered the loader prompt  and typed 

>>set hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" 

then I typed 

boot and I got the same result the machine hung then after a few seconds rebooted. I suspect it has something to do with ACPI since it says 

/boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=0x3f088 data= (then some more numbers I cant read before it reboots

Any more suggestions would be most welcome

Eric
