Andriy,

the Vaio P11Z does not boot at all with ACPI enabled so it's disabled in 
loader.conf. The panic messages are various if I try.

But I haven't disabled APIC anywhere. The kernel configuration is simply 
a GENERIC (included) with some different options set. I've uploaded the 
kernel config for you at http://people.freebsd.org/~vwe/misc/Vaio_p11z/JUNO

I may try, of course, to compile a plain vanilla GENERIC kernel but 
AFAIR INVARIANTS and WITNESS caused more trouble with this device so I 
disabled them.

For the ACPI problem, I always wanted to write to acpi@ for quite some 
months. I'm sometimes getting a CPU panic message, but if not, I'm 
seeing a panic while the keyboard interrupt is being served (that makes 
debugging impossible as you can't use the debugger if the keyboard 
doesn't work).

To me, it appears Sony is trying hard to cause us trouble. BIOS is the 
latest.

Thanks
