PnP settings not sticking

Hey people..
can somebody tell me what this is about?

Every time I reboot my gentoo installation the plug and play settings of my hardware resets, causing modules for amoung other things my onboard sound ship to fail. (It even caused my kernel to oops when I tried to enable the ALSA drivers I really wanted to use)

I use the setpnp and lspnp utils from the pcmcia-cs debug-utils, since this is a laptop.

I am certain that I have enabled all available kernel options regardning Plug and Play.

Any ideas?

You might want to try your luck in the laptop forum instead of the hardware forum. I am not really sure what to tell you to look for, I have seen some oddities occur on desktop machines with PnP due to the onboard system battery being dead, after each reboot the system would redetect everything in the BIOS causing some values to be slightly changed. I seriously doubt this is the case on a laptop, though. I have very little experience with Gentoo on a laptop though. I hope you can find a guru in the laptop forum that can assist you better!!

Good luck!!
