I've stripped the kernel as much as possible.
No firewire.
No RAID modules.
em network driver
mii module
nfe network driver
lagg module
sound
snd_emu10kx

Loaded modules:
from loader.conf:
nvidia
vboxdrv
loader later:
linux
opensolaris
zfs
if_ge (or someting simular) for virtualbox network I think
linprocfs

Both my soundcard and intel network card are PCI BusMaster enabled.
I have problems with my network card as well.
I'll try without the intel card and post back.
Greetz,
Mark
