Well, the PnP card will be initialized by WIn95, and warm booting will not
destroy this initialization. Cold reboot does. You have to compile sound as
module and then configure isapnp (with pnpdump). The append "sound" to
/etc/modules or rely on kerneld.

Did you recompile the kernel? What sound card do you have, and what options
did you give the kernel config for sound?

Well, more detailed info about your card would be helpful...
