How did you enable sound card support?

When I compiled the module for the SB16 on the system, I did something
like:

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
  [do all the configuration stuff for the sound card, compile it as a module]
make modules
make modules_install
depmod -a

Did you try to edit .config by hand or something?
