Did you replace the old "System.map" file with the new one?
"cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map"
or
"/usr/src/linux/System.map /System.map"

I think this will stop the warnings.

The right syntax is to put the "module_name" only in "autoload.d" not
the "module_name.ko"
For example:
nvidia    -  correct
nvidia.ko -  not correct

Additionally I think you could safely remove all those sound related
modules from "autoload.d" because "rc-update add alsasound default"
should take care of them. Anyway it won't harm if you leave them like this.

"s2io.ko" appears to be a driver for the Neterion's Xframe PCI-X NIC
[1,2] and if you have working network which appears so, because you can
at least send & receive e-mail :) it means that you either don't need
this driver or it is compiled in the kernel. In both cases you can
safely remove it from "autoload.d"
