    hi,
        I have been trying to post to different lists looking for a
    solution. though i have found some advice i have not found the
    solution. i was recently informed that i should post this question to
    the -current list(i should of done this earlier). I have a "Soyo Dragon
    Light" mother board which has this award bios. I have verified that my
    bios has been flashed with the most up-to date version(Well whatever the
    motherboard manufacture says).
        Now am certainly not a kernel hacker but i do understand a little
    bit of C code. The PR goes on to talk about a "Fix", which involves
    editing the "/urs/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_pci_link.c". After making the
    changes i had no luck :-(. Now i have been told that some people with
    this bios are not affected. Well would'nt that mean the the bios are
    not the same? I have contacted "Soyo" on this matter. They state on
    their web site that freebsd is supported, but have not returned my
    e-mail.
        How would i be able to determine weather this problem can be fixed
    by FreeBsd or the manufacture of the mother board? Is This problem
    being looked at for 5.2R i have not been able to really sink into using
    the new 5.x series because of this problem(So what i like GUI's a
    little). ;-)

    Thanx guys,
    Brian
