I have the exact configuration you have above.  The soundcard is detected,
but I do get one error:

Apr 15 22:17:45 hobbiton kernel: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver
Version 0.9.2 (Thu Mar 20$
Apr 15 22:17:45 hobbiton kernel: request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe --
snd-card-0. error = -16
Apr 15 22:17:45 hobbiton kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 02:0b.0
Apr 15 22:17:45 hobbiton kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:1f.2
Apr 15 22:17:45 hobbiton kernel: ALSA device list:
Apr 15 22:17:45 hobbiton kernel:   #0: Sound Blaster Live! (rev.7) at
0xdf80, irq 10

I've been ignoring modprobe errors because I know there are some issues
with 2.5 kernel and modules, and I'm compiling everything into the kernel. 
Could this be causing a problem, though?

Thanks,
