Kernel 2.0.5 ; modules 2.0.0

Well in 2.0.4, I found that when sound was compiled as a module,
it would work the first time (including SB16 external MIDI).  But,
if you unloaded the module and reloaded (as Kerneld might do) 
then sound would not work (or not work properly).


Hannu suggested that there may be some problems with running a
check on IRQ 5 twice w/o a reboot -- and suggest that I move it
to IRQ 7.

Now in 2.0.5 -- with the same settings as above (haven't tried
moving it to IRQ 7 yet) -- sound works first time, but if the
module is unloaded and reloaded: the whole system locks up.
A hard lock too, no ctrl-alt-del.
