If you're running OSS (which it looks like you are), you need
soundcore, sound, and es1371 (and maybe ac97_codec, dunno, depends
on your card).
If you're running ALSA, you need soundcore + the relevant ALSA
modules. soundcore is common to both OSS and ALSA.

Create a file in /etc/default called "bootlogd". Edit
/etc/default/bootlogd so that it says:
# Run bootlogd at startup ?
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
You will then get files in /var/log with names like boot, boot.0,
etc.; these will contain logs of what the /etc/init.d scripts
do during the boot process. The actions of those scripts aren't
normally logged in dmesg.

Try modprobing soundcore first, then sound, *then* es1371. Yes,
modprobe should take care of those dependencies; but you might learn
something from any messages that occur earlier, dunno.
What does lspci -vv show for your soundcard?
