>Description:
I have a system with the hardware below:
MB.       :    ASUS A8N-VM-CSM (AMI BIOS)
CPU       :    AMD Athlon 64 3000+
RAM       :    1GB
SCSI Card :    Adaptec 29160N
SCSI HD.  :    Seagate SCSI 72GB.

As I installing FreeBSD 6.0 I found I can not boot with the BIOS ACPI function enabled and then I disable it from BIOS and finally I can install 6.0 and thereafter every time when I reboot my message log will have the error log below and can not shutdown via "shutdown -p now" command:
Dec 25 14:09:26 amd-64 kernel: ACPI-0397: *** Error: NsSearchAndEnter: Bad character in ACPI Name: 43005350

 See messages about A8N-VM (CSM) on the freebsd-acpi list. The workaround is=

 fix the DSDT with a hex editor (or hack the Intel AML tools to not die when=

 they hit a mangled name) and use that. Boot into x86 with ACPI disabled,=20

 ASUS has released an updated BIOS for this motherboard that fixes this 
 problem.   It is Version 1001, dated 2006/04/27.  The BIOS is available from 
 the ASUS download site.

 Hi,
 
 Is it possible to test the BIOS update mentioned in this PR, along with
 a more recent version of FreeBSD and see if it fixes your problems
 please?  The BIOS update looks to have fixed the issues for at least one
 other FreeBSD user.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Gavin
