    Hello All,

    I have just just aquired the laptop in the title and have tried FreeSBIE
    (1.0?) on it, the one based on 5.2.1-R. It fails to boot normally, the only
    option that appears to half work is safe mode otherwise it'll hang at some
    IP thing: "IPsec: Initialized Security Association Processing.".

    With safe mode, it is able to boot providing at the Init local packages bit
    I press ctrl+c (otherwise it panics... more on that later :o) Right now I
    have got it running and it'll start X and everything fine, I am quite
    chuffed. However in dmesg I just noticed something the panic may be related
    too:

    agp0: <Ali Generic host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe0000000-0xe3fffff at device
    0.0 on pci0
    agp0: bad initial aperture size, disabling
    device_probe_and_attach: agp0 attach returned 6

    I am guessing this is broken hardware? Anyway, in safe mode the panic
    occurs (whenever I load any kernel module by the looks of it) is: (be
    warned, this probably isn't really all that helpful but I am waiting for a
    hard disk to arrive... then I may be able to build a debug kernel if it's
    needed?)

    agp0: <Ali Generic host to PCI bridge> mem 0xe0000000-0xe3ffffff at device
    0.0 on pci0
    panic: resource_list_alloc: resource entry is busy

    I tried just booting a normal earlier 5.1-R CD which gave a different panic
    along the lines of:

    contigmalloc0: size must not be 0

    Any help would be much appreciated, i'd like to try and use FreeBSD on this
    laptop if at all possible :o)
