Hello;

as you may know i am attempting to use fbsd's smbios functionality to  
support porting the linux i8k-utils dell smbios keyboard and fan stuff.

i just discovered today that disabling sysresource allows the module  
to attach.

so, here's the part that i'd love some help with understanding:

1. with acpi enabled, is smbios.ko supposed to be asking acpi for a  
resource handle or something?

2. is acpi_resource.c behaving in error? should it not be consuming  
the smbios startaddr?

note that startaddr for smbios is 0xf000, bios.c looks for pnpbios  
and pcibios starting at 0xe000 and completely ignores smbios.

it seems to me that either statement 1 or 2 is correct, but not both.

of course, i could be totally wrong, can anybody enlighten me?

tnx!

johnu
