This is good to hear.  I'm running the GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel that
was installed with 1.5.2.  I thought this kernel had sb0 compiled in,
but maybe not.  I'll rebuild one to make sure.

To be clear, my 'problem' is that no audio hardware is recognized.
Assuming that's the right driver, either my kernel does not have sb0 or
it's not being found during the probe.  I'll keep trying.

Thanks.
