>Description:
I'm trying to install the FreeBSD 7.0 on Lenovo T60 laptop. The kernel fails to come up and crashes with the fault:

"Fatal trap 9: General protection fault while in kernel mode"

I tried different boot options (like without ACPI, safe mode etc) but the result is the same.

I even tried with 6.3 CD but the result is the same.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install 6.3/7.0 on a Lenovo T60 laptop.
