The problem may be with allocating resources by ACPI PCI-PCI bridge. There is a way to set needed values: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2008-May/004905.html I am still not sure where is the exact problem! Whether something is wrong with ACPI PCI-PCI bridge or ACPI does not offer these resources? I would like to work on this and any help is welcome Best Regards -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFJZwRdxJBWvpalMpkRAuP0AJ9gn2sc9vF2emPfqEBxl7suNYNzTgCePbWp k8L3cDbNfYYxJ6gT6b/541g= =wZlz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
