 I just tested around a little bit.

 Even NetBSD 2.0.2 and OpenBSD 3.7 crashes directly after loading the kernel.

 FreeBSD 4.11 can be installed without problems.
 But it doesn't support the  Realtek RTL-8169 nic and the ALi M5455 PCI AC-Link Audio Device.

 If you need further information about the hardware, have a look at my Linux Laptop Review:

 (I'd really like to add FreeBSD to the supported OS's. Apart from "not running on my laptop", FreeBSD is really good.
 By the way: Under linux Slackware is my choice.

 I hope you can do something getting FreeBSD to run on my laptop.
