OK, if it worked with LM7.1 it should work with LM8.1 . And there are the ALSA
drivers as an alternative to the OSS/Free (AKA kernel) drivers. You didn't
change any hardware before installing LM8.1 which could have caused conflicts?

This seems to be the problem. I wonder, you can't set up your card with either
MCC or sndconfig but during boot the sb driver tries to load. Are there any
sound related entries in your /etc/modules.conf file?

Yes, the standard LM8.1 kernel has ISA PnP support compiled in, not as a
loadable module. So there is no isa-pnp module.
