Hi James.
Doesn't the kernel probe the machine's hardware at boot up
time, and if it finds your soundcard, load the appropriate
driver for it?
If the hardware is not detected by the kernel, then you
probably would have to manually load the respective hardware
driver with modprobe.
[root@karsites ~]# modprobe -l *cmi*
/lib/modules/2.6.18-194.32.1.el5/kernel/sound/pci/snd-cmipci.ko
