Most of the hardware works fine, including PCCard, sound and graphics. I'm having trouble with the serial ports. I have tried 4.4-RELEASE, but then upgraded to 5.0-CURRENT, thinking that the ACPI support might help. If I put the sio0 line in /boot/device.hints, dmesg displays this: sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 8250 If I remove the sio line from device.hints, sio does not even appear in the dmesg output. The laptop has a Phoenix BIOS and offers Win95/98, Win2000 and Other as options for the "PnP" setting in the BIOS. I set it to "Other", because that makes the sound and USB support work, but tried the other two settings without success. I searched the internet and found a mail from someone having the same problem installing Linux on such a laptop. My search for a BIOS upgrade was unfortunately unsuccessfull. Of course, the serial port works just fine under Windows ME. Any idea how I might get that damn serial port going? pnpinfo just displays this: Checking for Plug-n-Play devices... No Plug-n-Play devices were found Below are the dmesg and acpidump output. /root# dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2001 The FreeBSD Project.
