[SLUG] Mandrake Sound Problems

I can't get sound to work on my fresh install of Mandrake 8.0.

I'm using a SoundBlaster AWE64 sound card (ISA), which has worked just fine
in every previous Mandrake version, but in 8.0 it won't. When I run
sndconfig, it tells me that "No PnP or PCI sound cards were found in your
system. Please select your card type from the following list." So then I pick
it out, pick out the right detail stuff and all that, and then it says:

         The following error occurred running the modprobe program:
                                                                          
         /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz:
         init_module: No such device
         /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod
         /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz failed
         /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz: insmod
         sound-slot-0 failed

And then I hit enter again and it jsut loops back to the "No PnP or
PCI......" part. In all the past distributions it detected my card
automatically and plays the sound sample with no problems. I also checked
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/sb.o.gz and that file is there.

HardDrake (Mandrake's hardware configuration tool) recognizes the card,
however when I click "Run Configuration Tool" it tells me that "modprobe:
Can't locate module isa-pnp"

The sound card works just fine in Windows, and worked just fine in 7.2 before
I installed 8.0. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
