Hello,

for a few month I've used the following kernel attachments with for the
ISA legacy devices:

com*            at acpi?                # Serial communications interface
fdc*            at acpi?                # Floppy disk controller
lpt*            at acpi?                # Parallel port
npx*            at acpi?                # Math coprocessor
pckbc*          at acpi?                # PC keyboard controller

It worked fine with ASUS CUBX and P4B266. However with my new
Intel B865PERLK motherboard only a some of the device are found:

acpi0 at mainbus0
acpi0: using Intel ACPI CA subsystem version 20030228
acpi0: X/RSDT: OemId <INTEL ,D865PERL,20030715>, AslId <MSFT,00000097>
acpi0: SCI interrupting at int 9
acpi0: fixed-feature power button present
ACPI Object Type 'Processor' (0x0c) at acpi0 not configured

PNP0100 [AT Timer] at acpi0 not configured
PNP0B00 [AT Real-Time Clock] at acpi0 not configured
pckbc0 at acpi0 (PNP0303): kbd port
pckbc0: io 0x60,0x64 irq 1
pckbc1 at acpi0 (PNP0F03): aux port
pckbc1: irq 12
PNP0800 [AT-style speaker sound] at acpi0 not configured
npx0 at acpi0 (PNP0C04)

acpibut0 at acpi0 (PNP0C0E-29): ACPI Sleep Button
pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot)
pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot
wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard
pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot)
pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot
wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0

Therefore I had to reeanble the ISA attachments for com(4), fd(4) and lpt(4).
Is this a feature of my motherboard or a problem with NetBSD's ACPI support?
From the kernel message output above it looks like there are no ACPI objects
for these devices at all. Is that correct?

	Kind regards
