A line like the following would work: (NOTE: you may have to create /boot/loader.conf yourself) machdep.pccard.pcic_irq="11" Also, you have to edit /etc/pccard.conf to include only the available IRQs for pccards. At its default, it conflicted with the default settings on my laptop. I'm not sure if you will have the same problems, as yours maybe be configured differently. Its best to check and make sure though. > Another minor problem. If i hot boot from Windows to freebsd the kernel > hangs. Presumably due to the sound card. > Any suggestion? No idea here. I never booted with Windows on that machine. Also, I did not need PAO. It worked fine using 3.2-RELEASE and -stable. Just a note though, if you plan on using APM, do not put a MAXMEM line in your kernel config, and do not include 'options "AUTO_EOI_1"'. Having those in my config resulted in the resume from suspend not working so great (if at all).
