Yes it is pci express.  It may be related to that, hadn't thought of 
it.  I have SNAP, USB, and PCMCIA (not fully tested) working.  The 
audio is close but HDA wasn't completed, I may be working with Paul 
Smedley on that as he has the opportunity.  I worked with Pasha last 
nihgt trying to see if acpi could gain me anything.  He seems to think 
it should be working from what he sees (after adding some lines to the 
acpi.cfg file anyway).
