Does this answer your question about the fc5 kernel and alsa driver  
installation.

[root@localhost ken]# rpm -e alsa-driver-1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma
error: Failed dependencies:
        alsa-driver = 1.0.9-0.1.rc1.rhfc3.ccrma is needed by (installed) 
planetccrma-core-2005.03.22-1.rhfc3.ccrma.i686

However the first line of the kernel startup log says:
Linux version 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 (brewbuilder@hs20-bc2-3.build.redhat.com) (gcc 
version 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)) #1 Tue Aug 8 15:30:55 EDT 2006
What do I do next?
