I also have a Sound Blaster Awe32; but mine is jumperless and doesn't respond to isapnp. It lives happily on io220, irq5, dma1,5 etc. I have the values set as options in /etc/conf.modules

Mine works fine <tm> in test6 and earlier, but does NOT like test7. I have posted this before to lkml (Subject: "modprobe sound" causing oops under test7 / test8-pre1) but received no replies :( Brief recap: test7 spits out with "sb: I/O region in use." and then some dma left allocated messages (printk'd as the module shuts down I believe). Subsequently cat'ing /proc/interrupts or /proc/ioports oopses reliably (reliable oops?)
test8-pre1 locks the machine tight on "modprobe sound", and test8-pre2 is about as polite(!) as test7 I'm waiting for the truncate "issues" to settle before looking into it again.

Ooh! Same motherboard, but again, everything Works Fine <tm> with older kernels
There appears to have been a fair few changes in the kernel regarding sound, and even such things as MOD_INC_USE() and variants have been moved / restructured; possibly something wasn't quite altered correctly :(
