I can confirm this same thing, This morning I bought 3 new Asus
X83VB-X2 notebooks
a RELENG_7 build from 11-24-2008 (aka PC-BSD 7.02 i386) boots just
fine with ACPI enabled
but a 7.2RC2 install cd panics, as well as a recent 8 CURRENT snapshot.

if I disable ACPI everything works fine.

I am willing to provide any feedback that I can, as well as provide
SSH via public ipaddress
all I need is someone to tell me what to do.

my intent was to bring these 3 notebooks to BSDCan in a few weeks.
