There is no bios option to disable PNP OS in this Omnibook. Because all the supported OS's for this machine are PNP OS... That's HP's stance, apparently. > So no working sound :( Any new things I could try ? ISRT that the explanation at the time was that the BIOS isn't allocating the resources for the device, thus the OS has to do it - but we don't. I tried November's -CURRENT hoping that ACPI would do a better job, but it made the laptop crash on boot. I provided the output of acpidump at the time - you might like to try a recent -CURRENT snapshot, and see if this works now, because this is The Way Forward, I guess. Disabling ACPI let the machine boot. I found a combination of settings on -CURRENT that actually let me get sound (wheee!), but wouldn't give me something else I considered vital at the same time - PCCARD, IIRC. There was another guy working the same problems in December, see the -CURRENT lists. Don't know how that ended up - I sold mine to a co-worker who wanted to run Win2K & Linux on it... Good luck!!
