Those AMD Geode systems with the CS5536 look almost
cheap enough to afford one for each hand. I'll
look into upgrading the 5530 audio driver for the

Hi, very likely you have hit a known issue on the
original Geode. In "generic_bcopy" in "i386/support.s"
FreeBSD occasionally does a byte-aliged long rep

patch):
