After upgrading to kernel 2.0.33, I notice that the SB16 and
other sound card module options are grey out in the xconfig menu.
This means that one cannot have sound drivers as loadable modules.
I load a previously save config file and the SB16 is set to
the module option although the field has been grey out.
After this I have compilation error while making modules:

Previously I had SB16 sound module running with the 2.0.31 kernel.
