Actually, it's better to take a loader.conf without snd_ich_enabled=3D"YES" defined in it and rerun those tests. Sorry for not being more explicit about that point sooner. Try the following steps exhibit the same problem: - Remove sem_load=3D"YES". Execute `load sem' in the bootloader. - Empty out loader.conf. Then boot up with the bootloader once again and do= : load ukbd load snd_ich Please try all of the steps with boot -v to see what happens. There also might be an issue with the BIOS settings; see if there's anything in there about flipping a bit to enable a `plug and play OS'. If it's currently disabled, try enabling it. Also, try disabling SMP to see if that has any affect: set machdep.hlt_cpus=3D1 Trying a more recent copy of 8-STABLE might also work, if there were any bugs fixed between the release and now.
