I would first suspect IRQ routing problems (i.e. the OS can't work out from the information supplied by the BIOS which IRQ lines are routed to which devices). These days it's not uncommon for the $PIR and/or MPBIOS tables in the BIOS to be wrong in the BIOS, only ACPI having the right information on how to route interrupts. In -current ACPI is enabled by default but on a single CPU system APM (if enabled, which it is by default) takes priority. To disable APM at the boot prompt, "b -c". then at the ukc prompt, "disable apm". If this helps you can make it stick with # cd / # config -e -o bsd.no-apm bsd disable apm quit # ln bsd.no-apm nbsd && mv nbsd bsd this reconfigures the kernel into a new file, installs it to /bsd and leaves a copy around as /bsd.no-apm in case you forget about it and do an upgrade. > bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 07/27/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfb830, oh, you might also want to try a new BIOS.
