Hi Mark,

got the receommended /etc/modules.conf file in there.  but the modules cant be
located.

---- snip ---

[root at dhcp-183-1-168-192 etc]# /sbin/depmod -a
[root at dhcp-183-1-168-192 etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop
[root at dhcp-183-1-168-192 etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start
Starting sound driver snd-intel8x0 modprobe: Can't locate module snd-intel8x0
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting sound driver snd-rme96xx modprobe: Can't locate module snd-rme96xx
                                                           [FAILED]

my file names could be different here.  so I am dropping the snd- from their
definitions.  Am I doing the right thing?

--- snip ---

[root at dhcp-183-1-168-192 etc]# ls
/lib/modules/2.4.21-20.ELcustomsmp/kernel/drivers/sound/
ac97_codec.o  ad1889.o  cs4232.o  emu10k1   forte.o       rme96xx.o    uart401.o
ac97.o        audigy    cs4281    es1370.o  i810_audio.o  soundcore.o 
via82cxxx_audio.o
ad1848.o      cmpci.o   cs46xx.o  es1371.o  maestro3.o    sound.o      ymfpci.o

--- snip ---

now the command line output.

--- snip ---

[root at dhcp-183-1-168-192 etc]# /sbin/depmod -a
[root at dhcp-183-1-168-192 etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop
[root at dhcp-183-1-168-192 etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start
Sound driver i810_audio is already loaded
Sound driver rme96xx is already loaded

cheers,
