Now, _sometimes_ the boot gets into an endless loop saying"neo0: unknown int" How does such such a thing ever happen? Who writes into the card's NM_INT_REG register and how can an "unknown" value ever get there?
normally, the card writes into it. there may be some other device creating interrupts if things aren't wired up right. the kernel doesn't really know where it comes from, and assumes maybe the neo caused it.
In other cases, the machine boots and everything works, except that neo0 at pci1 dev 0 function 1 "Neomagic MagicMedia 256AV" rev 0x20 1:0:1 10c8:8005 pin B clink 0x01 irq 10 stage 0 WARNING: preserving irq 10 pci_intr_route_link: route PIRQ 0x01 -> IRQ 10 preserved BIOS setting : irq 10 ac97: codec id not read audio0 at neo0
probably related. same problem, different symptoms.
and I am unable to use any audio. The sound stuff doesn't even appear in sysctl -a.
it'd be in mixerctl. trying current, or acpi, or both may help. or not.
