Apologies for the long post, people... lots of information to wade 
through ;-)

Due to this long posting, look/search for @@@ at the begining of my 
comments.... I have to agree with you, I think about the firmware not 
running, but why is it I can get it to run after pushing the system 
through a configuration manually, but lose it on reboot? Is that right?

@@@ Here is my current modules.conf file as suggested by Fernando:

options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd'
alias usb-controller usb-uhci

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 ---
alias char-major-116 snd

options snd-emu10k1 index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=1
# --- Keep modules from being autocleaned
add options -k snd-card-0
add options -k snd-card-1

@@@ In /etc/hotplug, I have:

#
# Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it.
# Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead,
# no matter which driver happens to get probed first.  Sometimes user
# mode tools can also control driver binding.
#
# Syntax:  driver name alone (without any spaces) on a line. Other
# lines are ignored.
#

# uhci ... usb-uhci handles the same pci class
usb-uhci

# tulip ... de4x5, xircom_tulip_cb, dmfe (...) handle same devices
de4x5
# At least 2.4.3 and later xircom_tulip doesn't have that conflict
# xircom_tulip_cb
dmfe
