Could this be (part of?) the problem? -- in dmesg: . . . isab0: at device 10.0 on pci0 . . . pci3: at device 10.0 (no driver attached) I've re-compiled my kernel yet again to remove the sio device, since this thing has no 8250 or 16[45]50 serial ports on it, which got rid of the error messages in dmesg I was seeing about the port not being enabled and the IRQ not mapping. It also has no parallel port on it -- can I remove the ppc, ppbus, lpt, plip, and ppi devices without breaking anything else? The only peripheral ports this thing has on it are USB2. I'm pretty much stuck with a custom kernel on this machine, since the wireless network I'm on requires WEP, and the wlan_wep module would need to be loaded by hand if I went with the generic kernel and module loading ... which would also mean hand-starting dhcpclient and ifconfig, since both will fail at boot-time without wlan_wep. All the wireless stuff works just fine with ath, ath_hal, ath_rate_sample, wlan, and wlan_wep compiled into the kernel. The only thing I can't seem to get working is this blasted sound card. I wouldn't even worry about it if I didn't have to do this stupid flash based video training crap (why can't they just send me TFM so I can R it?!?). *sigh*
