yes:

pcm0: <nVidia nForce> port 0xe400-0xe47f,0xe000-0xe0ff mem 
0xdc180000-0xdc180fff irq 16 at device 6.0 on pci0

I attempted to upgrade to 6.1 last week. All went well until make 
installkernel  where I got a 'no disk space' error part way through.
I ended up doing a complete reinstall as I somehow ended up with an 
unbootable system.

I'll keep fiddling about anyhow. Thanks for your input.

BTW love your brewing fridge! Got to get me one of those :)
