    Hello

    i am a brand new newbie. I have just installed FreeBSD 5,3 on an old
    Compaq 5360 with a AMD-K6 and 128MB of ram.
    The install went resonably well and I have Xorg and Gnome2.8 running
    (installed from ports after a complete cvsup). Gnome takes a while to
    load but that is expected. I am getting some coaching from another
    newbie with 11 months FreeBSD experience.

    niels@compaq:~> uname -a
    FreeBSD compaq.sd.cox.net 5.3-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 #1: Thu
    Dec 30 1 2:14:21 PST 2004
    niels@compaq.sd.cox.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

    The following line is from dmesg:
    CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (450.13-MHz 586-class CPU)

    The biggest problem I have is that I have to boot with ACPI disabled.
    With ACPI enabled I get continuous errors showing

    calcru: negative runtime on pid (varies)

    Google'ing for this error shows this hit
    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2004-August/000532.html
    (url may have wrapped)

    This thread deals with a 5.2.1 and was patched to correct it. Has this
    patch been incorporated into 5.3 Release? I cvsup'd the source and built
    a new world but the problem remains.

    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Niels

    P.S. I am subscibed to this list.
