-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I haven't found a way, no mention of it. Pretty old BIOS. Went to HP's site, d/l the last one one they had (even it was old) & flashed it. Still pretty old comparatively. As for the dmesg errors, yeah, I guess I'll have to ignore them. I've tried everything I can to get rid of them, but it ain't happening. I read this in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES: device eisa # By default, only 10 EISA slots are probed, since the slot numbers # above clash with the configuration address space of the PCI subsystem, # and the EISA probe is not very smart about this. This is sufficient # for most machines, but in particular the HP NetServer LC series comes # with an onboard AIC7770 dual-channel SCSI controller on EISA slot #11, # thus you need to bump this figure to 12 for them. options EISA_SLOTS=12 I recompiled my kernel with that option but it didn't help. So, there are no choices in the BIOS for ACPI that I can find. Nor is there anything about PNP except for a section where you can reserve areas of memory, interrupts, ports, etc., for PNP. But they're all set to the default, which is to be available for the system. So, I guess I'm in ignoring mode until maybe in the future when I find a fix. Thanks for the answer & help.
