If you have problems with ACPI first check for BIOS updates. If there's nothing available or it doesn't help, please collect this information: SYS=XXXXX # replace with some descriptive name mkdir $SYS; cd $SYS acpidump -o $SYS > $SYS.aml dmesg > $SYS.dmesg pcidump -xx > $SYS.pcidump cd .. vi $SYS.txt Include any relevant information here, e.g. kernel output when it crashes (see http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#getdmesg), a description of what happens, and your email address. # tar czf $SYS.tgz $SYS $SYS.txt Mail it to sthen+acpi@spacehopper.org and I'll collect them. If you know how to build an ACPI_DEBUG kernel and capture the output over serial console (USB serial is no good on the system you want to capture output from, it must be a real standard serial port; port speed higher than 9600 will save a lot of time) then include that in a file too.
