ahoy fernando,

  thanks for the suggestion...  my original /etc/modprobe.conf contained 
the following:

alias eth0 3c59x
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && 
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias char-major-195* nvidia
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias char-major-195* nvidia
alias char-major-195* nvidia

just substituting "snd-sbawe" for "snd-emu10k1" did not work.. i still 
had to do the "modprobe snd-sbawe" after boot to enable the soundcard.  
however, my fc3 machine had a slightly different /etc/modprobe.conf .. 
it had 3 lines before the "install" line:

alias eth0 3c59x
#install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && 
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-sbawe /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-sbawe && 
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-sbawe { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-sbawe
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias char-major-195* nvidia
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias char-major-195* nvidia
alias char-major-195* nvidia

.. after a reboot, the soundcard was setup automatically with those 
lines added.. im no module/kernel/linux expert: just wondering what the 
extra lines do?  as always, your help is really appreciated... thanks, wayne

  i have a working fc2 system, all updated and had originally working
with a sblive pci...  well, i found an old sb AWE 32 isa pnp card,
swapped, and had some problems getting it working..

  when booting up, dmesg reports finding the card

isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
pnp: SB audio device quirk - increasing port range
pnp: AWE32 quirk - adding two ports
isapnp: Card 'Creative SB32 PnP'
isapnp: 1 Plug &amp; Play card detected total

 but system-config-soundcard detects nothing, and xmms indicates that
no output device is available, same with alsa.. however, after running

modprobe snd-sbawe

sound works, though system-config-soundcard still returns nothing... 
is there a way to have the card automatically setup during boot to
avoid the modprobe step??

Check what you have in /etc/modprobe.conf. Try replacing the references
to the sblive kernel module with the module for your replacement card
(snd-sbawe)...
