Do you have any sound-related entries in your kernel configuration?
I haven't had time to get hdaudio setup on my new machine yet, but
I'm pretty sure that the symbols in the native snd_hda driver would
conflict with OSS's hdaudio.ko .  I think I remember running into
``module already present'' when something was compiled
into the main kernel, before.
