First off, thanks for all the suggestions. I used Matt's advice and
turned off the on-board audio in the BIOS ( I never even looked for
such an option...</me slaps head>). It works, but is not the most
user friendly choice. During the install, hardware detection found 2
ethernet cards and asked me which one it should use. Why can't a
similar thing be done for the sound cards?

Well, it does to some extent. I wonder why, when the default install
of Warty has a 2.6 kernel, I have /etc/modutils and /etc/modules.conf
there at all?

It would still be handy to have a wiki page that describes the boot
procedure, and what the scripts in /etc/rcS.d are responsible for.
Could we do this?
