devfs is being depreciated in 2.6 in favour of udev.  What does FC2 do ?

Sounds like you are either lacking this alias (see line 3 of the modules.conf extract above)
or your stock kernel does not include the cs4232 module.
Try 'find /lib/modules -name snd-cs4232\*' as root and see if it finds something.  If not you'll need
to do some module compiling.   You shouldn't need to build the whole kernel, just the
pertinent alsa modules.
I defer the 'howto' on this to more contemporary redhat users than I.


Have fun,
Duncan
