Hello! I was having problems getting my sound card going (suse 8.1 prof on a sony viao laptop) and after hours of searching the web I finally found someone with a similar problem that said if I just pass in pci=acpi on boot then it will work. That work liked a charm, so I'm happy. So the reason I'm writing though is what the heck does pci=acpi mean? I'm pretty new to linux so I'm just trying to absorbe all that I can. Thanks!
Cheers, Daniel
You will find that command line setting fixes just about everything in sony vaios. Sony is very dependent on acpi because they have about 8 things hanging on a single interrupt, and use acpi to route the signals to the correct device.
