Thanks for the information. I had to run redhat-config-soundcard to get 
any sound. It sounds better with the 2.6 kernel. Sounds more spacial.

The sound tool on the toolbar (applet) does not work. (no audio device). 
The open volume control functions though.

It is nice to have sound again. I looked at /etc/modprobe.conf and 
at/etc/modules.conf - Both existed but did not look anything close to 
each other.

modules.conf had this.

alias eth0 3c59x
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L 
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S 
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :

modprobe.conf had only the ethernet card (twice). One works, one doesn't.
include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 3c59x
