I have a "Soyo Dragon Light" mother board which has this award bios. I have verified that my bios has been flashed with the most up-to date version(Well whatever the motherboard manufacture says). Now am certainly not a kernel hacker but i do understand a little bit of C code. The PR goes on to talk about a "Fix", which involves editing the "/urs/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_pci_link.c". After making the changes i had no luck :-(. Now i have been told that some people with this bios are not affected. Well would'nt that mean the the bios are not the same? I have contacted "Soyo" on this matter. They state on their web site that freebsd is supported, but have not returned my e-mail. How would i be able to determine weather this problem can be fixed by FreeBsd or the manufacture of the mother board? Is This problem being looked at for 5.2R i have not been able to really sink into using the new 5.x series because of this problem(So what i like GUI's a little). ;-) Thanx guys, Brian
