Looks like a lot of those errors were from various /etc/rc.*
entries. E.g., there was a pcmcia daemon in there, and it
turns out that I don't actually need to run
/etc/init.d/alsa to get my sound to work.

(If you're curious why I'm putting so much time into
tweaking this, recall that I'm running a high-traffic web
server and -- for now -- a graphical desktop on a
450-MHz machine. I need to squeeze all I can out of it.
Eventually I'll get rid of the desktop altogether and do
that on my other cheap, slow machine.)
