Just disable sio1 in /boot/device.hints. No reason to disable stuff that you actually have! Just add hint.sio.1.disabled="1". That will free up an IRQ. > Next XFree86 would core dump.

These should be fixed in CURRENT and can be ignored in most cases during RELEASE. (It was a chicken/egg issue that Nate fixed doing some rather "odd" things to get some of the ACPI code to run before it would normally be started.) -- R.
