Aren't ISA cards handled by udev as well? Check it, as on 2.6
kernels /etc/modules usualy should be empty.

The problem was on an old laptop, and I ended up installing debian
sarge on it to get it to work. Testing this again by installing Etch
and then perhaps installing Sarge again would be a whole-day project,
which I don't have time for right now.
I just know that the sound module did not seem to get loaded on reboot
after running alsaconf, and that I got errors about non-extant devices
when trying to use ogg123.
ogg123 of course just hang when I tried using it after manually
loading the alsa module for my sound card. Which is why I ended up
installing Debian Sarge with a kernel 2.4.
