The thread that I thought stated the error in renaming was the below thread.

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg01351.html

I checked the available soundcards in the 2.4 kernel version and only 
got the below listing related to sound for ess.


es1370.o  es1371.o  esssolo1.o

If you look in /lib/modules/kernel<verson>/kernel/drivers/sound you 
might see a module that is named close to your sound card type.

I don't know for sure what is there with 2.6 kernel modules. I seem to 
recall that the alsa are prefixed with snd-<cardtype>

I'm curious now and really don't know how to fix your problem now. i'll 
have to take a look on the drivers available when I get o the test computer.
