Uh huh. Old issue. I bitched about RH nuking sndconfig in RH9 to no avail. But to make matters interesting, I ran config-soundcard after the Severn install last night and the same thing happened - "no soundcards found". But then after a couple of reboots, I opened up /etc/modules.conf and there was my old Crystal card ready to go with the modules defined. I suspect kudzu found it on one of the reboots and did the right thing. Either that or config-soundcard's error output needs adjusting.
