== Making ACPI work in FreeBSD 5.x ==

Many manufacturers' motherboards have dodgy implementations of ACPI that are based on "works with Windows" as opposed to "adheres to the ACPI standard." As usual, Microsoft only pays attention to the parts of the ACPI standard they care about and ignore the rest, so FreeBSD's implementation can have some issues with some motherboards, particularly non-SMP motherboards. They can often be made to work, however, by creating a custom kernel with the following options:

# Do NOT make an SMP kernel
# options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
nodevice apic
nodevice smp

Note that in addition to adding "nodevice apic" and "nodevice smp", "options SMP" has been commented out. The GENERIC kernel in 5.2.1 has SMP on by default, and many non-SMP motherboards do not correctly identify themselves as such under ACPI - leaving you with the options of either disabling ACPI or disabling SMP and APIC. ACPI gives you lots of good stuff like power control and monitoring and more fine-grained hardware controls, so you're really better off building yourself a custom non-SMP kernel and booting with ACPI on.

See [[Custom Kernels]] if you need more information on how to find, edit, build, and install a custom kernel in general.

−	Its a sunny Saturday morning, and my wife and I turn into a residential neighborhood of Santa Rosa, California the only sign of commerce is a beleaguered shopping mall a few hundred feet away. I glance down at my GPS to make sure this is where we want to be and in doing so I almost pass my destination. There it is tucked away to the left, sandwiched between two homes: Worth our Weight (W.O.W)

−	A scientific expedition into one of the worlds last pristine tropical forests has revealed incredibly diverse species and extraordinary cultural heritage, said Conservation International (CI) today, announcing the results of a scientific survey in southwest Suriname that documented nearly 1,300 species, including 46 species which may be new to science. The announcement comes as the global organization marks 25 years of science-based conservation, this month.
