I have Wolverine, up2date asof today with latest kernel ...25 recompiled so
my ps/2 mouse works.  Based on error lines in /var/log/messages I hand
tweaked /etc.modules.conf to get sound and printing to work    


Reproducible: Didn't try

Despite the tedium I could re-install from my Wolverine CD and re-apply
all  up2date rpms if  really needed -- I hesitate to badger but I think you 
otter go for a third order of mustelidae<grin>

sndconfig fails with errors as follows
----------------------------
 modprobe error
 The following error occurred running the modprobe program:
 /lib/modules/2.4.2-0.1.25/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o:
 init_module: No such device
 /lib/modules/2.4.2-0.1.25/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o: insmod

 /lib/modules/2.4.2-0.1.25/kernel/drivers/sound/opl3.o: insmod
 synth0 failed
---------------------------------
I have an ESS1868 sound card which actually works with
hand tweaked /etc/modules.conf as follows
-----------------------------------
alias eth0 3c59x
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=none
alias char-major-180 lp
alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330
options sound dmabuf=1
alias sound-slot-1 opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
alias sound-service-1-0 uart401
---------------------------------------
I hacked the above together by guessing which modules went
with things like "sound-slot-1" by noticing what caused 
error lines like this in ..../messages:
------------------------------------
Mar 15 18:35:16 user1-hos modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module synth0
-----------------------------
by the way sndconfig triggers the above line 
 
the sb module for the soundcard reports in ../messages as follows during
boot:

---------------------------------------------
note the claimed use of dma 1 and 3, although only dma=1 was in the sb
options
This use of dma 3 conflicted with the parport which also claimed dma 3 as 
installed --hence the parport option dma=none added per above
