Can you post which modules are not found ?

Did you do 'uname --all' to be sure that you are actually running
the server 2.2.17 ?
Here is what you should have for sound in /lib/modules-2-2-17/misc
(assuming you have a sound blaster compatible card ):
sb.o
opl3.o
uart401.o
adlib_card.o
sound.o
soundcore.o

In /etc/modules.conf, I have
alias char-major-14 sb
options sb irq=5 dma=1 io=0x0220 mpu_io=0x300 # your numbers may be different,OC
post_install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card"
options adlib_card io=0x0388
Actually, I have these lines in a file, /etc/modules/sound, so that they
are put in /etc/modules.conf when I or the package manager run modules-update
(this is the Debian Way to write modules config, I believe ... )
HTH etc... etc...
