I have a PC with a VIA 82C686 chipset. The sound used to work with FreeBSD 5.2.1 (as it does with Linspire, Knoppix, Yellowtab Zeta and Win$...) I remember having to manipulate a bit the kernel to make it work before but I had no luck since the upgrade to 5.3 a few months ago. The kernel does not include the sound off-the-shelf but I compiled the kernel modules and load them in rc.conf. Here is the output of kldstat: bash-2.05b$ kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 8 0xc0400000 495138 kernel 2 1 0xc0896000 4aea88 nvidia.ko 3 14 0xc0d45000 5c7f0 acpi.ko 4 1 0xc21d5000 4000 snd_via82c686.ko 5 1 0xc21d9000 1b000 sound.ko bash-2.05b$ Upon boot, I get: ...

I'm not sure what [GIANT-LOCKED] really means - I get a couple of those but the other devices work (I would not be able to do much without graphics card, keyboard or mouse ;-) ). Is there anything I should pay attention to? I suppose this chipset has been checked before release... Thanks in advance Olivier
