Hello - I have a Toshiba 5105-S701. I have been running FreeBSD 4.9 stable for some time (rather happily) with a few quirks......sound doesn't work and ocassionally it doesn't pick up the mouse on boot (rare). I also ran into the same issues you had noted with installing 5.x versions of FreeBSD (which is why I stuck with 4-Stable). Were you able to resolve the sound or install issues on that laptop? I would be most interested in your reply. I was replying to the below message: I've got a few problems with my Toshiba s5205 503 (PIV Satellite) laptop and FreeBSD (currently I'm using 4.9-Release). The one I'd like most to solve is sound. My computer is supposed to have an ICH3 compatible sound card (Yamaha AC-XG, according to windoz), but when I try kldloading the sound driver or loading the kernel with the pcm driver compiled in it, the system freezes with the next messages: ----- fwohci0: <Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A> at device 7.0 on pci2 fwohci0: Invalid irq 255 fwohci0: Please switch PNP-OS to 'No' in BIOS fwohci0: Could not map memory device_probe_and_attach: fwohci0 attach returned 6 fwohci0: <Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A> at device 7.0 on pci2 fwohci0: Invalid irq 255 fwohci0: Please switch PNP-OS to 'No' in BIOS fwohci0: Could not map memory device_probe_and_attach: fwohci0 attach returned 6 fwohci0: <Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A> at device 7.0 on pci2 fwohci0: Invalid irq 255 fwohci0: Please switch PNP-OS to 'No' in BIOS fwohci0: Could not map memory device_probe_and_attach: fwohci0 attach returned 6 pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (8201CA)> at device 31.5 on pci0 pcm0: Unable to map IO port space device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 ------ I've got a friend who has an older Toshiba laptop with (apparently) the same sound card, but no firewire, and it works perfectly there. Could it be perhaps the firewire port is getting in the way? I tried compiling without firewire support but the kernel would panic then. I don't know how to access the BIOS settings; the documentation provided by Toshiba doesn't say how to (bad Toshiba bad! I'll write to them right away). What else can I try? My sound card didn't work in linux either, and I haven't tested the OSS drivers yet. I've got another problem with FreeBSD 5.0 and 5.1: the computer gets frozen before sysinstall runs. The last line it says is something about agp0 (can't remember exactly what it was, but everything seemed to run properly, although a bit slower than 4.8 and 4.9). I haven't been able to install it. One last question: how do I "rescan" the USB ports so the computer can detect when I plug in a generic mouse after FreeBSD has started? If I connect or disconnect it after FreeBSD has started, the computer simply ignores it (it doesn't even supply power, the mouse's light does not turn on) and it ignores the touchpad as well. Other than that, the system runs very nicely in 4.9-Release, the NVidia driver works perfectly (the 3d screen savers run very smoothly), and a key repeating issue in X is easily solved with the Gnome accessibility features (slow keys set to 20 milliseconds - if someone's interested). Thanks a lot, Alejandro. Thanks, Matthew Lukaszewicz
