I dont know what your problem is with the modules(1), but can't you look at the time/date
stamp?

1. OK I have just had a look through your files. isapnp.conf looks OK, but [and I could
well be wrong]  conf.modules seems to have a few rogue options.

options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options sound io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options uart401 io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5
options soundcore io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options sb sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options sound io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options uart401 io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5
options sound io=220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=330
options sound io=0x220
options sound io=0220
options sound io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io-0x330
options soundcore io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options sound options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
options soundlow io=0x220


Are you using modconf to install the modules? If so, then hopefully what I have pasted in
should be the contents of /etc/modutils/modconf.
this is mine, for comparison:
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 dma16=5

I have an SB16 Value PNP (cos I'm poor) and I think that our options for the sb module
should be similar.

If you use modconf, then move the old /etc/modutils/modconf file elsewhere [to a different
directory, dont just rename it modconf.old or sthg cos update-modules puts the contents of
all the files into /etc/conf.modules] and either run modconf again, or put into your
/etc/modutils/modconf "options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330"
If you are using modconf, then also consider filing a bug against it.

If OTOH you do not use modconf, then find out where those dodgy options are coming from [a
file in /etc/modutils almost certainly] and put in that file what I told you above to put
in /etc/modutils/modconf
