 I also had some trouble with the RAID controller in the machine,
 so it took a bit of time to get this far.
 
 Running on this kernel

 the computer boots fine with the audio enabled:

 I haven't got any way to see if anything works beyond this at the moment
 but the computer is otherwise happy with this in there, and the i/o list
 matches the connectors on the back panel of the machine so it seems to be
 the finding hardware I have, for whatever that's worth.
 
 Thanks again,
