6 Did you replace the old "System.map" file with the new one?
7 "cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map"
8 or
9 "/usr/src/linux/System.map /System.map"
10
11 I think this will stop the warnings.

48 The right syntax is to put the "module_name" only in "autoload.d" not
49 the "module_name.ko"
50 For example:
51 nvidia - correct
52 nvidia.ko - not correct
53
54 Additionally I think you could safely remove all those sound related
55 modules from "autoload.d" because "rc-update add alsasound default"
56 should take care of them. Anyway it won't harm if you leave them like this.

62 "s2io.ko" appears to be a driver for the Neterion's Xframe PCI-X NIC
63 [1,2] and if you have working network which appears so, because you can
64 at least send & receive e-mail :) it means that you either don't need
65 this driver or it is compiled in the kernel. In both cases you can
66 safely remove it from "autoload.d"
