Notes and Observations:

The sound card showed up as detected but the module was disabled. This was because the BIOS was set by default to a Plug and Play OS. This must be changed to Non-Plug and Play BIOS. The ALSA sound module can be downloaded from the http://www.alsa-project.org/ website and installed. The direct URL to the driver/module is: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/ftp/driver/alsa-driver-0.9.5.tar.bz2

The SIS® 630 video driver must be manually selected. This driver (sis) is the correct driver for the SIS® 650 chipset.
