  It could be that sound is running as a service, and you have no
card; I believe the kernel will try all the configured sound modules
(and dependencies) until something succeeds. To check do:

             chkconfig --list

or
            setup -> System Services 

If sound is running, you can turn it off for the runlevels you use: 

            chkconfig --level 35 sound off

would turn off sound for runlevels 3 and 5. See 'man chkconfig.'

If sound isn't running as a service, you might try:

            alias sound-slot-0 null
            alias sound-service-0-0 null

in /etc/modules.conf rather than 'off'. Maybe if modprobe succeeds, it
will quit. See 'man modules.conf.
   Short of a compile with N for the  whole sound section, one of
the above might work.

                                              Best,

                                              Tom
