In my previous configuration (w/ 3.4-STABLE) I would use a /boot/kernel.conf script to do magic to get my soundcard to work. Things seem to be different in the 4.0 kernel configuration steps (I stumbled upon "options PNPBIOS" which is hidden somewhere in the documentation); boot -v reports some PnP scanning activity, and pnpinfo(8) correctly reports my sound card (as well as my 'winmodem' which I dont use). My kernel CONFIG file says "device pcm0" since i'm hoping to use pcm. After much hacking I have realized the following: if i do a boot -c and then do 'visual' and then expand the nodes, it asks me if I want to save the changes, (no matter if i say 'yes' or no) it *correctly* identifies and runs my sound card. I tried it out. There also seems to be a difference in the way the PnP stuff is being scanned, since normally there are about 6 lines of "Pnp device failed to report resource data", whereas if i do the boot -c thing it only has that line twice. This seems to be a stupid bug to do with the bootstrapper or something; I'd rather not try to involve myself in that stuff. Fix: I dont know. I think the code will have to be changed. :( How-To-Repeat: Install a Crystal card. boot -c, 'visual', expand some of the nodes, quit at booting it will show your crystal card. otherwise it wont show your card.

I have 4.0-RELEASE at home and the > problem still exists there... Is there any way you could try this on 4.3-RELEASE? 4.3-RELEASE represents a year's worth of development beyond 4.0-RELEASE.
