Thanks for the reply gustaaf, I used this to check if my hardware was supported ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.4-RC2/HARDWARE.HTM#AUDIO (it was RC1 at the time) I haven't modified the kernel (dont really have the time to do it ATM) I loaded all the drivers by loading snd_drivers like it said in the handbook none of them worked. Here is the dmesg output from linux: :00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03) Any ideas?

I tried it, but on boot the same messages came up about the soundcard. But worse than that, the new kernel couldn't mount the root file system. Does the PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES option also require PNPBIOS? I didn't have PNPBIOS in my kernel config. I think I'll try hardcoding the resources for the sbc driver and see what that does.

The ALS4000 chipset is supported, it's the bios on the machine in question bios that causes problems on 4.x. Try adding the following to your kernel config file and rebuilding and reinstalling the kernel: options PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES Regards - Orion To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
