darkuttek Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'm also having this problem. It seems to be common to at least Acer Aspire 7730G, Acer Aspire 7730ZG, and Acer Aspire 5739G. As far as I have understood correctly, the ACPI BIOS of these computers is a bit messy -- which is the problem. While Windows and Linux are capable of dismissing the bad addresses given by ACPI and assigning new ones themselves, but OSX and BSDs don't have that. I guess we'd need to get somebody competent write us this missing functionality in to the IOPCIFamily.kext or into the bootloader.
