To correctly identify the drivers, we really need more details.  Unless
someone else has a dv6110us, this probably means either getting the
system to a point where "pciconf -vl" works or extracting the PCI IDs
=66rom the Windows hardware list.

Not a good sign.  Exactly what happens is ACPI is enabled?

They definitely won't work - both are Intel chipsets and I suspect you
have an ATI chipset - try snd_atiixp

Details?

Probably related to the lack of ACPI.

You have a Broadcom chipset.  As Scot pointed out, you will need to
use NDIS with a Windows driver.  I suspect the drivers he pointed you
to are 32-bit.  If you're running an amd64 kernel, you will need a
Windows-64 driver - and they are rarer.  AFAIK, HP don't support
Win64 so you probably won't find them on the HP site.  Broadcom won't
support end-users - they expect you to go to your vendor for support.
The drivers I have originated from Toshiba.

>(vii)               Power management crashes everything when enabled

Again, please provide details.
