You still need isapnp. Kernel pnp doesn't do ISA cards, AFAIK.

What does `lsmod' say about sound? I have an SB16 PNP and mine says:
Module Size Used by
opl3 10264 0
sb 30852 0
uart401 5628 0 [sb]
sound 55156 0 [opl3 sb uart401]
soundcore 2192 6 [sb sound]
As well as `sound', you need to load sb. It no longer links the actual
device code in to the sound module directly (which is a good thing,
because it doesn't compile in the IRQs and DMAs either).
You might need to edit /etc/modutils/options to handle this too. I have
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330 dma16=5
options opl3 io=0x388
(run update-modules after editing that file)
