[PLUG] boot messages error {was: hello}

Slackware 9.1 (kernel 2.4.22) on PII400, ATI Rage Pro, Crystal 3246 sound, IDE hd.
Solved previous X display issue by copying XF86config from Knoppix boot :)

Can't get a clean boot:
I'm getting errors for failed insmod for cs46xx sound card (see dmesg output).
This is the part:

PCI: Enabling device 00:0b.0 (0104 -> 0106)
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0b.0
ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:3152: create - never read codec ready from AC'97
ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:3153: it is not probably bug, try to use CS4236 driver
Sound Fusion CS46xx soundcard not found or device busy
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0b.0
CS461x PCI: f4100000[8192]
gameport0: CS461x Gameport speed 1657 kHz

After searching all of rc.d, I've found nothing calling modprobe for it.  Here's my guess:  it is hotplug.  It finds the onboard gameport and a (maybe part of the CS chipset?) then errors trying to use it also as the soundcard.  It does assign IRQ 11 to the gameport.  alsaconfig up the right CS4236 driver and it loads (and plays!) fine (see lsmod output).

If its hotplug, can I give specific actions for the gameport? Or do I have to disable hotplug and set up all of my ISA devices manually?

More info please.  Distro, video card model, and what you are trying to 
accomplish by changing the driver.  I'm assuming the card is in a PC.  
Example:

Red Hat 9.0
GeForce2 GTS
Installed nVIDIA's closed-source driver to enable accelerated video.

In the case of the nVIDIA card, all you have to do is download the 
driver file, execute it, and maybe modify XF86config to use the new 
driver.  I haven't done it in a while, but I used to have to change a 
line specifying the "nv" OSS driver to the "nvidia" closed-source driver.

Wow, I thought the number was only a couple hundred.  Judging by the 
number of people who actually post, only a dozen.  That makes me 
self-conscious about my casual posts.  Sorry.
