it's soo weired, there's is an GENERIC_ACPI kernel conf ready to be used 
in the netbsd-4 source I've check out.  However, it's not listed in the 
web frontend,
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/?only_with_tag=netbsd-4

anyways, I built a kernel with ACPI + MP + GENERIC and everything goes 
fine just like for i386.  Therefore, I'm now keen on trying to fix the 
sound issue (which also occurs on i386) although I'm not really into C 
development.

Note. there are some patches against FreeBSD 6.2 to make the relative 
sound module (snd_hda) work: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/
I've tested it successfully on 6.2-RELEASE.

Any help, patch or C teacher (phone + screen -x!) ? ;)
kidding (almost)


Here are some information that may help:

The hardware volume button on laptop seem to react, the mute button is 
activated.  I can't deactivate it (unmute) until I reboot.
