Someone's post about a similar problem led me to the
solution. They mentioned disabling the onboard modem in
the BIOS, which I had already done, but then I tried
disabling Onboard Legacy Audio. That solved the problem!
The OnChip Sound is still enabled, so sound works fine,
just the SoundBlaster compatibility is turned off, but
Windows XP doesn't need it.

Weird that SP1 is sensitive to that.
