What happened is that you did not enable the automatic startup of alsa
on boot (follow the planet instructions :-) So the driver was not being
started at boot (as it should) and instead the modules were loaded when
you started X (most probably because some program in the X startup
sequence needs the audio device).

It says that the kernel was compiled with gcc under rh 7.2, that is
normal as that's where I compiled the kernel.

This means that the driver does not find a suitable pci id for a card it
knows about. BUT the memory for the card is actually allocated so the
card is somehow being found right? Which probably means there is one
more place in the hdsp code where the pci id for your card is still
missing...
