Sound is not compiled into the system

[chandrag@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

   I am using Red Hat Linux 8.  When I try to configure the sound card using
'detect sound card' program it says, Sound is not compiled into the system.
How can I get the sound working on my current system, Red Hat 8.0?  I am
ready to rebuilding the kernel, too.  I need some pointers to start work in
this direction.  I want to use this opportunity to know more about Linux.
Sound works when I boot the same desktop in Windows XP.

Thanks in advance and regards,
chandra
