dmesg

Both normal & verbose here. If one asserts boot_verbose="yes" in /boot/loader.conf buffer overflows & only contains tail end

2013-05-26, Xavier with an Acer Aspire 5634WLMi, on 19 May 2013 wrote a question.
I replied to: questions@ & acpi@ :
On my 9.1-RELEASE I get:

cd ~/tmp/; sysctl -a | grep -i acpi > sysctl_-a_pipe_grep_-i_acpi.txt (550K)
iasl -f acpidump_-dt.asl

acpidump / iasl have 2 bugs:
acpidump embeds value of TMPDIR in output,
iasl then cant cope if file is moved, eg

to a different directory, if file sent to another person on another site who does not have same TMPDIR /home/person/tmp ,
to a different extension name, as iasl wants .src, but eg .txt is better for apache & firefox & xvile)

Script to show the bugs:

su
cd /tmp
mkdir acpidump_debug
cd acpidump_debug
mkdir run set unset
cd run
unsetenv TMPDIR 
acpidump -dt > ../unset/acpidump_-dt.asl 
setenv TMPDIR /tmp/acpidump_debug/set
acpidump -dt > ../set/acpidump_-dt.asl 
cd ..
diff -c unset/acpidump_-dt.asl set/acpidump_-dt.asl
cd set
iasl -f acpidump_-dt.asl
