Hi Mark,
I removed the modem module, someone else suggested it as well, but no 
improvement.
When I restart I still get this alsactl message, which appears harmless, 
and my mixer settings are erased...not related I guess, but is it normal?

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound restart
Shutting down sound driver                                      [  OK  ]
Starting sound driver snd-intel8x0                          [  OK  ]
Starting sequencer                                                     
[  OK  ]
Restoring sound driver settings /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1267: No 
soundcards found...     [ FAILED ]

I'm listing the following because I'm running out of ideas. Why would 
regular FC3 work and FC3-ccrma not?
I was getting some other error messages earlier today, but they 
disappeared after I took out some lines I had manually added to 
modprobe.conf, opting for the alsaconf lines instead:
Mar 13 18:53:23 localhost modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting snd_intel8x0 
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-0.6.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma/updates/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko):

anyway, thanks for your help, and if you have any wild ideas, I'm 
prepared to try them out...
