I've bleated about this before:  My PSM dies when I insert
a SB AWE32 PnP card into this Intel P6_200 system.

I've tried using the July 8'th beta of the FBSD PnP code,
and even though it *claims* to configure the AWE, the PSM
*still* dies.  Everything works fine when the AWE is removed
from the system.  The PNP setup has no conflicts with the
PSM...

I *can* get this to work under WIN95, so I assume this is
a PNP interaction.

Is it possible that this is a BIOS problem?

Does anyone else have this problem, or a solution?
