I am glad it helped. It looks like the 2.6.17 kernels only need a
simple version of the script. At least it worked when I cut it down to:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Script to enable SD interface of the TI PCXxx12 interface.
#

# Remove SDHCI and MMC modules, if they are installed.
        modprobe -r sdhci
        modprobe -r mmc_block
# Change what interface is enabled.
        setpci -s 04:06.2 4c.b=02
# Load the SD and MMC modules again.
        modprobe sdhci || exit 1
        modprobe mmc_block || exit 1
        exit 0

I have to rest not removing the modules first. I also have to see if
the latest version of 2.6.17 works without the setpci command first.
From what I have been reading, they are improving the sdhci module
to take care of that, at least for the pcixx21 chipset. I have not
seen much about the pcixx12 chipset we are using.

As far as the sound goes, I am using ALSA with the snd-hda-intel
driver. The ALSA driver even lets me use the modem that is also
attached to the same interface as the sound. My sounds shows up as:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
