Given that until last weekend I had an AWE64 in my system, I may be able
to help...

A dumb question, but you are aware that the 2.6.x kernels require new
insmod/modprobe/etc., do you?
This are from the module-init-tools, not from modutils anymore.

I remember reading that you shouldn't use isapnp for soundcards when
using Alsa.
The sbawe driver has isapnp options itself:
<http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Awe64+Gold&chip=EMU8K&module=sbawe>
When I set up my AWE64 (on 2.4), I pretty much followed that guide, and
renamed /etc/modules.conf to modprobe.conf for 2.6.

I don't know what that script does. I used the alsasound script that
came with the alsa driver sources.
