Hello,
I've just installed FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p6 (GENERIC) on a AWOW Mini PC
[1]. Completely idle, top(1) reports unusually high system CPU usage:
CPU: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 27.7% system, 0.0% interrupt, 72.3% idle
Running top -SH reveals that the CPU time is being consumed by kernel
acpi_tasks:
PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND
11 root 187 ki31 0B 64K CPU0 0 29:22 97.15%

kernel{acpi_task_2}
0 root 8 - 0B 1456K CPU1 1 8:31 26.09%
kernel{acpi_task_0}
The BIOS configurables for this system are pretty sparse; I'm not able
to see or adjust any ACPI settings. Relevant (I hope) snippets from
dmesg below:

The few search results for similar issues I've found suggest trying to
disable ACPI altogether, which just results in the kernel immediately
panicking when booting.
Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this further?
Thank you
Steve
