Install issues with 7.x

Hello, I purchased a new Clevo M860TU on the account that it ran linux
very well and was hoping it would fair the same on FreeBSD. Not so
much, little help? I posted this in mobile originally but though
stable would be a better choice. Don't know if it is more appropriate
here or ACPI.

I'm giving you as much information as I know how to get. as I cannot
get sysinstall to load I am having to type all these dmesg. The boot
process is hanging. This is all with 7.x, I can give 6.x if needed.

Hardware:
Intel P9500
4gb DDR3-1066
Nvidia 9800M GT
Atheros AR5006e

FreeBSD 7.1-BETA2

These snippets of dmesg happen around the end where it hangs.

1. Default

Then just stalls

2. No ACPI

3. Safe Mode

I can only tell you a little because console is spammed. It is the
same as no ACPI, but with an interrupt storm.

run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 300 seconds for xpt_config

When it gets to the unknowns, this is spammed.

interrupt storm detected on "irq10:"; throttling interrupt source

Other than the interrupt storm spam, it is halted like the others.


4. Single User Mode

Same as 1, Default


5. Verbose

All I can tell you is what is spammed at the end.

acpi: bad write to port 0x080 (32), val hex

Where hex is ever increasing and loops when it hits 0xff01. I can also
see run_interrupt_driven_hooks message in all the spam.

Using some googling if you add the sysctl before boot

debug.acpi.block_bad_io=1

it might be of some help. This just leads to a never ending loop of
acpi errors - the scroll very fast and difficult to record might I
add!

FreeBSD 7.0-REL

7.0 is a little different than 7.1. Messages are somewhat the same but
they happen near the beginning of dmesg instead of around the end. The
run_interrupt_driven_hooks issue is nonexistant as well, but it still
hangs. I'm guessing that's a debug tool more than an error.

1. Default

Hangs.

2. No ACPI

Hangs.


3. Safe Mode

Same interrupt storm as 7.1-BETA2.

...

--repeat--

4. Single User Mode

Same as 1. Default.


5. Verbose

Hang like normal, cannot see the ACPI errors since they fly off the
scroll lock buffer.

Thanks again.
