Error loading snd modules

Question

ok so this is my first install, and everything went fairly smoothly.  i just can't figure out why i am getting these errors on boot up:
snd-cs4232 and snd-wavefront can't load module.  When I am not calling them in the rc.conf or modprobe.conf.
my modprobe.conf:
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
# OSS Compatibility
alias eth0 nvnet
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 ---
options snd  device_mode=0666
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
and my rc.conf
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# Localization
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime"
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: fount in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-us)
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE=Canada/Pacific
KEYMAP=us
CONSOLEFONT=
USECOLOR="yes"
# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"
# Networking
HOSTNAME="Archbox"
# Module to load at boot-up (in this order)
#   (prefix a module with a ! to disable it)
MODULES=(!usbserial !ide-scsi snd-intel8x0  nvidia)
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   (prefix an interface in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it)
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   (prefix a route in ROUTES with a ! to disable it)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   (prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond gdm)
# End of file
If i can get the sound working that is it...then i can play around and see if this is the distro i've been looking for.  Any help would be much appriciated.

No - there is no keyboard module and no mouse module either... the only module you'd need is for general usb support (ehci_hcd, ohci_hcd, uhci_hcd)

They're different ways to get to the same result... doing it through init 5 and executing it in the daemons array gives you the same results... it's only slightly different...
