   Install the ALSA rpms, yank anything unnecessary in
/etc/modules.conf, the reboot into single-user mode.  I do this when I
want a nice, clean startup when changing my Nvidia drivers, too.

   I edit /etc/inittab, changing the 'sysinit' level from 5 to 3, and
doing an "init 6"  to reboot.  No big deal, and there's no prompts to
miss.

    When it comes up, run alsaconf to configure your modules as needed
(it's VERY good about this, in my experience) and when you're hearing
sounds and it's all nice and happy, put the changes back in /etc/inittab
and do a "init 5" and you'll be back to normal.  All this needs to be
done as root, of course.

    If you have any problems with this, drop me a line.
