I don't think it's the chip's fault. The problem is that our PNP
implimentataion assumes that the BIOS did NOT do PNP setup, and wipes out
all the PNP initialization in the cards. It then proceeds to re-init all
the PNP cards.

What we should probably do is scan the PNP setup early to see what, if
anything, is set up. If a card's set up, do the NetBSD attach setup. If a
card's not setup, wait for later. Then we set up all the ISA cards. Then
we set up whatever's left.

I think the original problem was that we got PNP before the bus space
mapping went in. I.E. in 1.2, if there was a PNP sound blaster which the
PNP drivers set up, there was no way to make the normal ISA sb driver NOT
also attach the hardware. That's why we do PNP last.

For now, can you turn off PNP in the BIOS?

Take care,
