Seems to have been a red herring. I tried a couple of older kernel 
revisions which made no difference. Booting into windows, the sound card 
works fine. Then I booted into FreeBSD and it booted fine without the 
panic, although the hda driver spewed out a heap of error messages like 
this:

Mar 30 09:50:12 lstewart-laptop kernel: hdac0: 
hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=1, received=0
Mar 30 09:50:12 lstewart-laptop kernel: hdac0: 
hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=1, received=0
Mar 30 09:50:12 lstewart-laptop kernel: hdac0: Codec #0 is not 
responding! Probing aborted.

repeated up to:

Mar 30 09:50:12 lstewart-laptop kernel: hdac0: 
hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=0, received=0
Mar 30 09:50:12 lstewart-laptop kernel: hdac0: 
hdac_command_send_internal: TIMEOUT numcmd=1, sent=0, received=0
Mar 30 09:50:12 lstewart-laptop kernel: hdac0: Codec #14 is not 
responding! Probing aborted.

Then I rebooted again and got the panic on every reboot. Weird.

On a whim, I suspected fishy BIOS settings left over after a BIOS 
upgrade so I reset all BIOS values to factory defaults and now it seems 
to be working fine. There are no audio related options in the BIOS, so 
not sure what was broken but something must not have been happy or must 
have been left in an inconsistent state somehow.

Sorry for not having thought of it sooner, but it looks like the case is 
closed.

Cheers,
Lawrence
