OK, kernel 2.6.10 works (I'll post dmesg if requested). The Audio card gets allocated to IRQ 5, instead of trying to allocate IRQ 7. I also updated the BIOS from A09 to A13, but this did not change anything. For kernels 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 I still have to use pci=noacpi. Since kernel 2.6.8 is planned to be shipped with Sarge, will the the changes made wrt ACPI in 2.6.10 be back-ported to 2.6.8? The reason for setting the severity to serious was with the sarge release in mind. > -- > maks > -- Svante Signell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
