[PlanetCCRMA] Can't get Jack to start

Hello,

I have a dual AMD MP 2800 system running Fedora Core 1.  Right now I'm
only using the onboard soundcard (I'll probably move to something like a
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz later), an Intel i810_audio chipset.  I can play
music fine using the Music Player app, but I can't seem to get Jack
started.  I used the following command:

Jackd -alsa

I then get this message:

loading driver ..
creating alsa driver ...
hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|rt|32bit
jackd: pcm.c:687: snd_pcm_nonblock: Assertion `pcm' failed.
Aborted

Jack was installed as I installed Ardour, with the command apt-get
install ardour.

I'm not using the Planet kernel; first of all I tried it with this but
with the same result, and secondly because I would like to take
advantage of the SMP that came with Fedora.  I Googled this and heard
something about this being caused by the Alsa modules not being loaded? 
I'm pretty familiar with Linux, but am a bit of a noob when it comes to
kernel modules...  If it helps any, here is the output of the lsmod
command:

Sorry if the solution to this is blatantly obvious.  Thanks in advance
for any insight.
