Hi,
This is my first time using BSD, so if I'm missing something obvious: apologies.
I installed FreeBSD 7 on an IBM ThinkPad T43 yesterday. While mostly everything is going smoothly, I'm still having a lot of trouble getting a few things to work. One issue in particular is that of the suspend/resume feature. I followed the guide here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_FreeBSD_7_on_a_ThinkPad_T43#Known_Issues
and it acknowledges that there is an issue with suspending that I'm experiencing. I can put the computer in suspend mode and resume it once, but after that I have to reboot the computer to use the feature again.
I tried performing a work-around by disabling APIC in my device.hints file. This allows me to suspend the computer more than once, but it takes approx. 2-3 minutes before it stops complaining of my Ethernet device "PHY read time out (phy 1, reg #, val 0xffffffff)", along with telling me various USB devices that "interrupt while not operating ignored" before it suspends.
I have no idea where to go from here.
