Hrrrm. I still can't find any way to reset the audio subsystem.

Yes and yes.

The umass0 lines are being printed by usbd. Killing usbd and restarting
it doesn't change the behavior.

This looks like a bug in the driver for the floppy drive, since a usb
mouse works fine before or after a suspend. Something not getting
initialised when the bios doesn't init the floppy at boot time ?
(which the bios will have to do, since it has to try to boot from the
usb floppy).

Partitions all shuffled. I have a (thanks to mike's pointer) correctly
created suspend to disk partition which works fine with FreeBSD (and
even suspends/resumes a lot faster than my 128Mb 505TR did).

The only two issues left are the usb floppy when it isn't initialised
by the bios and the audio failing after a resume.


So, any reason why those usb and fxp patches havn't been merged ? Can
some other people test them to check they don't break other
laptops/desktops ? They don't seem to affect the fxp interface on my
desktop box here (I havn't set up usb on that machine).

Thanks,
Peter.
