1. Try the boot option "acpi=off".  This can solve a multitude of problems.  Check your Thinkpad's specifications to see if its bios is ACPI-aware (and don't confuse ACPI with APM).  If it's not ACPI-aware, this boot option should be considered essential.
2. Check your bios to see if "PnP OS = NO".  This is important for all Linux distributions.
3. Check your bios to see if the sound card's settings are listed.  Also check that these settings are not set for something unconventional - like SB emulation, or MSS/WSS mode.
Still no success?  Now you're in the realm of experimentation.  Remove the card's entries in /etc/modules.conf, then reboot and specify just the basic module options -
modprobe snd-opl3sa2 isapnp=0 port=0x370 irq=5 dma1=0 dma2=1 ... or ...try just one module option at a time, hoping to isolate the one which causes the system to freeze.

OMFG I got it working!!!  Thanks for all your help!!!  

To any others out there who have a thinkpad i1411.  I put the info from the last post on the fourth page:

options snd-opl3sa2 isapnp=0 port=0x370 sb_port=0x220 wss_port=0x530 fm_port=0x388 midi_port=0x330 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=1

(i made the dma1=1 and took out the two alias commands) I put this info in a file called aliases in /etc/modutils.  (when i put it in modules.conf it wouldn't save cause update-modules would overwrite it)

w00t, now to work on the wireless card.  thanks again.  :D

I have the same exact laptop as gbucrizist; Latitude CP m233st. I typed the same exact lines that got his sound card working, but got nothing.
(modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330
insmod opl3 io=0x388)

I also went into the BIOS to disable any PnP, but couldn't find any settings that sounded related. If anyone can think of anything. Your help would be much appreciated.

Woohoo!
