CentOS v5.1 insists on loading about a dozen audio-related drivers at boot time. Since this is a server machine, it will never run applications that require sound output. I tried setting "alias snd_cs46xx off" in modprobe.conf. Yet the system still loads that driver and the many, many other audio drivers that go with it. How can I disable the loading of audio drivers at boot time? Thanks.

If so, go into your BIOS of the motherboard and disable the onboard network card, along with any other ports or devices you do not use or want loading in CentOS. Once you reboot, the hardware and associated will be removed, I believe.
