hi,
I have been trying to post to different lists looking for a
solution. though i have found some advice i have not found the
solution. i was recently informed that i should post this question to
the -current list(i should of done this earlier). I have a "Soyo Dragon
Light" mother board which has this award bios. I have verified that my
bios has been flashed with the most up-to date version(Well whatever the
motherboard manufacture says).
Now am certainly not a kernel hacker but i do understand a little
bit of C code. The PR goes on to talk about a "Fix", which involves
editing the "/urs/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_pci_link.c". After making the
changes i had no luck :-(. Now i have been told that some people with
this bios are not affected. Well would'nt that mean the the bios are
not the same? I have contacted "Soyo" on this matter. They state on
their web site that freebsd is supported, but have not returned my
e-mail.
How would i be able to determine weather this problem can be fixed
by FreeBsd or the manufacture of the mother board? Is This problem
being looked at for 5.2R i have not been able to really sink into using
the new 5.x series because of this problem(So what i like GUI's a
little). ;-)
Thanx guys,
Brian
