Kent,
Thanks for your reply. I ran the pciconf -lv command I can see the 
following under multimedia?:

none1 at pci0:2:7: class=0x040100 card=0x42011558 chip=0x70121039 rev=0xa0 
hdr=0x00
     vendor   = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)'
     device   = 'SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator'
     class    = multimedia
     subclass = audio

But what does that mean ? Doens't it mean it can see it but can't probe it?

I believe that the pcm0 is fighting for IRQ 10 which is used by:

ohci1: <SiS 5571 USB controller> mem 0xec001000-0xec001fff irq 10 at 
device 2.3 on pci0
fwohci0: <1394 Open Host Controller Interface> irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0

Is there anything I can do to resolve this, you think?

Thanks again,
