Actually I am not sure if its pnp or not. During boot it says "isapnp: Card 
'CS4236B' so I assume its pnp? 

There is definitely something different in snd-pnp.o between version 0.9.6 and 
0.9.7 on up. Tried your suggestion of copying snd-pnp.o (version 0.9.60) over 
the same of version 0.9.7c and there was no Oops.

One thing I forgot to mention about 0.9.6. As said it boots fine and all. 
During the install of snd-cs4236 there is a non-fatal error that says;

Starting sound driver: snd-cs4236 CS4236+ WSS PnP configure failed for WSS 
(out of resources?)
isapnp detection failed and probing for CS4236+ is not supported.

"Trying"? My contribution was much closer to a "feeble wave in the general 
direction of something that might lead you one step closer to a solution 
if you squint really hard and do all of the work."
