There's no option like that. I wouldn't be surprised if the machine is so new that it assumes "yes". However, I have had fairly good luck in the past with the PNPBIOS kernel option, and when it hasn't worked it has been because I haven't specified device configurations in the kernel configuration file in enough detail, or because the BIOS's PNP config info has been in the wrong order for the console to work properly. Neither of those is the problem here. The problem as I see it seems to be independent of the PNP issue, since it is a PCI problem and AFAIK PNP problems are tied to ISA devices. I have the same problems with GENERIC, but obviously the diagnostics are less helpful. Is there a magic pciconf command I can use to give more useful information? pciconf -l seems unenlightening -- it has the same information as the dmesg I quoted. >Also, disable 'Legacy device support on USB' or 'USB keyboard support' >if there is any.

I'm back in England now, so if you have time to look at the machine I can bring it round or we can have a pub meet or something... Thanks for the reply.
