During boot, my sound card (Intel 443MX) won't initialize. I always get the
following message:

-
pcm0: <Intel 443MX> port0xe400-0xe4ff ,0xee80-0xeebf irq 10 at device 0.1 on
pci0
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: unable to initialize the card
device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6
-

When I tried to load all the drivers, I received the same message. Though
with certain drivers, I received the following:

-
 pcm0: <Intel 443MX> port0xe400-0xe4ff ,0xee80-0xeebf irq 10 at device
0.1on pci0
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: unable to initialize the card
device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
-

I've tried the following:

kldload snd_ich
kldload sound
Configuring the kernel with 'device sound' and 'device snd_ich'

...yet nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me with this problem? My
computer is a NEC VersaPro VA80J laptop
with 700mHz Pentium III and 128MB.


Thanks in advance,
Jarret
