 Hi,
 
 I posted updated information here:
 http://www.cokane.org/dokuwiki/freebsd/amd64_compatibility#getting_the_hp_compaq_6715b_working
 
 Scroll down to the "The OnBoard ATI SB600 HDA Audio Controller" section
 for the real skinny. Basically it creates a patch which can be applied
 to the sys/dev/pci/pci.c on -CURRENT to enable a tunable that allows you
 to manually set the PCI mem I/O range for that particular card (the
 SB600 High-Def Audio Controller). There are a number of instructions for
 using devinfo and pciconf to determine where you have available I/O
 memory available. I'll follow up with some more information on getting
 the SATA controller working tomorrow.
