modprobe.conf is now:

# Note: for use under 2.4, changes must also be made to modules.conf!
alias usb-controller ohci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
options ne irq=10
alias eth0 nvnet
alias usb-interface usb-ohci
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

After booting I get no sound.

If I run system-config-soundcard I then get sound (although no changes
to /etc/modprobe.conf).

If I then reboot, I get no sound again.

I'm losing the configuration somewhere.

I've removed the nvsound module (modinfo nvsound now says no such module
or somesuch) but notice that the system-config-soundcard still remembers
that nvsound was there at some point - oddly when I play the test sound
button on the tab for this module it still works!!!
