The following reply was made to PR kern/97383; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Henrik Brix Andersen <henrik@brixandersen.dk> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, fotios@prometheus.csh.rit.edu Cc: Subject: Re: kern/97383: Volume buttons on IBM Thinkpad crash system with ACPI Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2006 21:22:09 +0200 I managed to get hold of an MS-DOS environment for running "PS2.EXE IDE2 Disable" from IBM [1] on my IBM ThinkPad X31 as adviced in the previously mentioned mailing list posts. After disabling the secondary IDE bus I can no longer reproduce the problem described here. Disabling the seconday IDE bus will, however, also make it impossible to use a secondary HDD or CDROM drive in an UltraBay docking station, so this is not an optimal solution - only a work-around. Footnote: this problem doesn't exist with other operating systems such as GNU/Linux, which indicates that it is a problem that can be solved in software.
