Shuttle SD37P2 V2 ACPI - FreeBSD 5.5-REL-p7

[Nick Hale]

I have a Shuttle SD37P2 V2 system sitting here (runs the Intel 975 express chipset) and 
when trying to boot to FreeBSD 5.5-REL-p4 through -p7 (unknown if it did it before p4) I 
have to force it to boot with ACPI disabled else it locks immediately after detecting the 
primary HDD in the system.  Due to the fact that it locks up, I'm unable to send the dmesg 
output from a working ACPI boot.  I can, however, give you everything else on the list. 
The acpidump -dt output can be found here:

sysctl hw.acpi is an unknown oid currently on the system.

dmesg ouput can be found here:

I've tried updating and rebuilding just to make sure I have a build that was generated on 
this box, but no luck.  I've let the machine sit for approximately 48 hours to see if it 
was just a delay in detecting anything but this also proved to not be the case.  It is 
still locked at the same spot and I had to hard reboot and force ACPI to be disabled. 
This is a non-production box so I am willing to try patches and such on it so long as I 
don't have to reinstall (ie: I can at least boot to an old kernel or to a different kernel 
and try again).

As I said, the system is a Shuttle SD37P2v2 barebones running on an Intel 955D (3.46 
Extreme Edition) processor with 1GB of DDR2 memory with a 40G IDE drive sitting in it.  I 
*can* mirror the 40G partition to a SATA drive and boot that, but so far it has yet to 
actually fix anything.  Any advice or guidance is more than welcome and I am willing to 
attempt to track this down.  Please include me in the reply as I am not currently 
subscribed to any of the FreeBSD mailing lists (this one included).

Thank you!
