thanks for the report, peter. please send me the output from dmidecode.
Attached below. I've noticed some discrepancies between this output and what I've observed in the BIOS set up, namely video, sound and ethernet are listed as disabled (below) but are enabled in the BIOS set up. The video and ethernet are working OK but the sound card does not appear to be found. I've discussed the sound card issue with the appropriate developers and their consensus is that it is not a problem in the sound software but at a deeper level in PCI or ACPI.
If you wish me to test kernel changes to investigate these problems (or any other issues) I'm happy to help so don't hesitate to ask.
