Hi,

I'm running version NetBSD 3.1 with pkgsrc 2007Q2 and the Release Source
Files.

I tried running it with GENERIC.MPACPI, but I got the same error as this
guy, who is running the same version and on the same exact hardware:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2006/05/29/0001.html

The picture of his (our) error is:

I couldn't find an answer on how to fix that, what would you suggest?
