FreeBSD 10.0 on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E545

Hi guys,

I want to install FreeBSD on my laptop, a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 545. But the boot hangs on loading the kernel on this:

Code:
atkbdc0 <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0

I don't know how I can fix this. :( Bug report is here - https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191070

Any idea? :x
Thanks.

I am no expert on these issues, but have you done the test that is proposed on the site below?

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops

These people especially work on getting better support for Laptops when it comes to FreeBSD. I downloaded the image (FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT) which that site links to and at least it booted perfectly (I use a Macbook Air Mid 2011), and I could perform the test that is proposed there. I am thinking now about installing it besides my Mac OSX to perform further tests.

Edit: ps ... I have a thinkpad E540 at home at the moment and will test that too.
Edit2: Performed the test with my Macbook and the Thinkpad, in particular both laptops booted with no problems ...
