Long story short:
I wanted to install FreeBSD 9.0 on my complete empty Acer Extensa 5220.
While booting from the live cd it stops after printing (verbose mode enabled):
battery0: battery initialization done, tried 1 times
Disabling ACPI resulted in an stack trace and reboot.
Removing the battery while boot just changes the last output.
Then I installed 8.2 which was working and updating to 9. The boot from hdd did stop then again with the same output.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot the live cd on an acer extensa 5220
