It could be that sound is running as a service, and you have no
card; I believe the kernel will try all the configured sound modules
(and dependencies) until something succeeds. To check do:
chkconfig --list
or
setup -> System Services
If sound is running, you can turn it off for the runlevels you use:
chkconfig --level 35 sound off
would turn off sound for runlevels 3 and 5. See 'man chkconfig.'
If sound isn't running as a service, you might try:
alias sound-slot-0 null
alias sound-service-0-0 null
in /etc/modules.conf rather than 'off'. Maybe if modprobe succeeds, it
will quit. See 'man modules.conf.
Short of a compile with N for the whole sound section, one of
the above might work.
Best,
Tom
