Ahemmm, I'm sorry, but I read the next message and updated my BIOS before any other test :-( Anyway with kernel/world after end of june it boot only if: - add hint.acpi.0.disabled="0" or - use a kernel _without_ option SMP/option apic > Does your system work then?

After a BIOS upgrade it works so I think it doesn't matter. If you really need a report from my old bios I'd think to revert to old one (but only if you _really_ _really_ need it :-) >> (only a "don't know if related" problem: after switching to sound >> and snd_* my machine don't play any sound, device is found at boot >> but no mixer nor dsp are created into /dev ... No need for this, found and solved. With old drivers my AWE/64 use sbc, now it need sb16. Don't ask me why. Sorry for wasting time. Maybe I'm wrong again but I kldloaded snd_driver so I now have both of them (snd_sbc compiled into the kernel and snd_sb16 loaded as module). Reading again NOTES give me a hint: I need both? >> Can I vote for "removing" this MoBo from quirks? > No, the hints give the same behavior you'd have on ... OtherOS ... No need to remove. It is a specific version that broke ACPI boot. After an update from 1014.beta001a to 1014.beta003 works again. Thanks for your time. -- Riccardo. ( http://www.GUFI.org/~vic/ )
