Here is where things stand.

On boot, dmesg showed the modules did not load.

Here is my list from autoload.d.
s2io.ko
snd-mixer-oss.ko
snd-pcm-oss.ko
snd-seq-device.ko
snd-seq.ko
snd-page-alloc.ko
snd-pcm.ko
snd-timer.ko
snd.ko
snd-ac97-bus.ko
snd-ac97-codec.ko
snd-intel8x0.ko
soundcore.ko

Here is a list of load modules
sean@tardis ~ $ lsmod

snd_page_alloc         10640  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

The only one that I do not see is s2io.
Not sure why they show on boot not being loaded, when they apparently 
are springing to life.

X has started, and as it did the nvidia logo displayed. I never turned 
it off in xorg.conf, and I am looking at my very nice WindowMaker 
display and background. Link below is for the pic, if interested, nice 
picture, my wife was amused.

The Allman Brothers live at the Filmore is playing from my recently 
installed Audacious player, which took the place of the now removed XMMS.

Openoffice started up! It better after all these hoops I have jumped!

One eterm window is doing
emerge --update --deep --newuse world;revdep-rebuild;revdep-rebuild
Currently on package 15 of 88 as I write this email in Thunderbird.

My dmesg display showing my recently compiled kernel based on gcc 4.1!

Linux version 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 (root@tardis) (gcc version 4.1.1 (Gentoo 
4.1.1))

What a ride just for Openoffice, but learned a bit, now if it just 
sticks in my head! The hard part of it all.

So I guess I will delay that nice upgrade of my hard drive to that 10K 
SATA. 8-(
I figured if things went so bad that I had to start over, then I would 
at least upgrade the drive, been wanting to do that for a while.

So the only mystery is why the modules appear not to load on boot.

	Daniel, and all others, thanks again, you made the difference.
	Sean

	P.S. now up to package 17
