Ok I deleted /etc/asound.state, but was unable to regenerate it, even 
after running alsamixer and settings values.
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound restart
Shutting down sound driver                                 [  OK  ]
Starting sound driver snd-intel8x0                         [  OK  ]

No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!
# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or 
directory
# alsamixer
# more /etc/asound.state
/etc/asound.state: No such file or directory

No, it seems to be the same kernel:
# uname -r
2.6.10-0.6.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma

How do I find out the loaded modules are exactly right for the kernel?
depmod -a gives no output, it returns successfully..
