Recompiling the kernel will get rid of the probing on boot along with
help your sound card, I recompiled a kernel and had sound with no problem,
yes you have the sound code just do a kernel recompile.

The stuff about switching mrb's every time you want a different os sounds
a little funny, ever heard of lilo.  

I havent read your pervious messages so you may already know what I have
told you.
