Hi,

today, I've tried to upgrade my Soekris Net6501-70 from 9.2-STABLE to
10.0-BETA3. But with the new kernel (GENERIC) I get the following errors:

ACPI BIOS Error (bug): A valid RSDP was not found (20130823/tbxfroot-223)
[..]
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xc0f156e0, 0) error 19
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): A valid RSDP was not found (20130823/tbxfroot-223)
ACPI: Table initialisation failed: AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI: Try disabling either ACPI or apic support.
[..]

Running 'ifconfig -a' outputs:

: flags=8c02<BROADCAST,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Device not configured
: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Device not configured
ð: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Device not configured
ö: flags=0<>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Device not configured

Starting in multi-user-mode I see:

eval: ${ifconfig_...}: Bad substitution
eval: ${ifconfig_...}: Bad substitution
eval: ${ifconfig_...}: Bad substitution
eval: ${ifconfig_...}: Bad substitution
eval: ${ifconfig_...}: Bad substitution

ifconfig: interface  does not exist
ifconfig: interface  does notem0: link state changed to UP
 exist
ifconfig: interface  does not exist
ifconfig: interface  does not exist
ifconfig: interface ð does not exist

Disabling acpi and apic doesn't resolve the problem.

The NICs are:

em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.3.8> port 0x2000-0x201f mem 0xa1000000-0xa101ffff,0xa1020000-0xa1023fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci5

em3: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 7.3.8> port 0x5000-0x501f mem 0xa4000000-0xa401ffff,0xa4020000-0xa4023fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci11

Thanks.
