I have also installed corresponding PAO. Now most of the system works OK but i have some remaining problems. First sound card does not work. This is a Neomagic chip. I have been told that a driver is in preparation in CURRENT, and i can wait because i don't use sound much. But it may cause other problems. The pcic is a TI PCI cardbus controller. In fact there are 2 of them, listed in the boot messages. No IRQ's are assigned, so the boot messages display IRQ 255. I don't see any option in BIOS to force this assignment from BIOS. The good news is that using PAO the first controller is recognized, and allows to insert cards. I have successfully inserted and removed a D-Link ethernet card. This is sufficient to make me happy. However i am unable to enable the second controller. Under Windows they have both IRQ 11 and have high memory ports: 04 000 000 - 04 000 FFF 04 001 000 - 04 001 FFF Under PAO the first controller is enabled by IRQ 11 port 0x3E0 (if i remember correctly. This is just the default value in PAO kernel config). If y put the same value of IRQ port for the second controller, and the flag conflicts, the kernel seems to find the controller but refuses to attach it. If i put another value of port the kernel does NOT find the controller. Here i don't know how to proceed. May i change the IRQ? I would have tried but i for example don't know the IRQ of the video card. It is listed as 255 in dmesg, but nevertheless works. So i fear some conflict. Another minor problem. If i hot boot from Windows to freebsd the kernel hangs. Presumably due to the sound card. Any suggestion?
