I see a lot of problems with the above installation.
I blame the SiS Instructions which I have attached. Terms like "Generate
sis7012 driver module" are not exactly clear to a lot of first time users.
Also stage 8, states "Add two lines into it" while only showing one line of
code.
The last stage also states "reboot your computer and configurate sis7012".
Again not exactly clear what one should do.
I have not yet got sound going.

SiS 7012 Linux Driver Install Documentation
**Before install this driver, you should make sure that your kernel had
enable "sound card support" !
(the option of "sound" item in building kernel)
This driver is for kernel RedHat kernel 2.4.x. You can install this driver
by useing script "install" or follow steps descributed below:
Note : if there are soundcore.o and ac97_codec.o in your kernel, you can
skip step 3,4,6
(you can use command "insmod soundcore" and "insmod ac97_codec" to
test if there are these two modules)
1> Check that you have kernel-source in /usr/src/x.x.x
2> Change linux_src_directory to correct path in "config.in"
3> Copy soundcore and ac97_codec source to current directory
"make snd_install"
or :
"cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/sound_core.* ./"
"cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/sound_firmware.* ./"
"cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/os.h ./"
"cp /usr/src/x.x.x/drivers/sound/ac97_codec.* ./"
4> Generate soundcore and ac97_codec module
"make soundcore.o"
"make ac97_codec.o"
5> Generate sis7012 driver module
"make"
6> Copy soundcore.o , ac97_codec.o to module directory
"cp soundcore.o /lib/modules/x.x.x/kernel/drivers/sound
"cp ac97_codec.o /lib/modules/x.x.x/kernel/drivers/sound
7> Copy sis7012.o to module directory
"cp sis7012.o /lib/modules/x.x.x/kernel/drivers/sound
8> Modify the file "/etc/modules.conf". Add two lines into it :
alias sound-slot-0 sis7012
9> Reboot your computer and configurate sis7012.
