I have one on the motherboard of an old Pentium II (desktop) machine.
In 2.4.23, I have
    CONFIG_PNP=y
    CONFIG_ISAPNP=y
and
    CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA2=m
The kernel sees the chip as a PNP device, and "modprobe opl3sa2" works
without any module (or lilo) parameters needed.

You might see if compiling ISAPNP into the kernel solves it.
