Ok, this let me track it down to the ALSA snd-sbawe module.  I did not have
isapnp compiled into the kernel and was relying on the userspace isapnp to
configure the device (carried over from 2.4).  Apparently the module didn't
like this.

With isapnp built into the kernel, the module loads successfully.

It seems that the driver is made to not require isapnp, so I'm not sure
where it is going wrong.

No, I hadn't.  I was able to reproduce this by just loading the snd_sbawe
module on a clean boot.  Transcript follows.

Thanks,
