For the record, I got the soundcard to work (SIIG Soundwave Pro PCI with ALS4000 chip). After spending too much time enabling and disabling kernel options and playing with BIOS settings for me to still be considered sane, it occured to me that just maybe the PCI slot was FUBAR. It isn't completely FUBAR, but switching the video and soundcards made it all work. Damn PCI Bus! Why can't we just set resoources with jumpers. If God meant for mankind to be plug-and-play, he would have given us better BIOSes ;) > More advice is welcome. > > Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
