I can't add a second card to my Fedora 3 box

[claude keswani <klawed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
I've spent several days now scouring google results for the issue I'm
having and have not made any progress.
I'm running Fedora Core 3 on a 500Mhz AMD Compaq Presario white box.
[root@londonbroil ~]# uname -a
Linux londonbroil 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 #1 Sun Jan 2 15:44:20 EST 2005 i586
i586 i386 GNU/Linux
It has an ES1998 Allegro sound card on the motherboard.  Somehow, the
left channel of the sound card no longer works so I'm trying to add a
Creative Labs Soundblaster Live! card (SB0410).  I've followed the
directions for this card provided by alsa-project.org and my card
still does not work.
[root@londonbroil ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 tulip
alias snd-card-0 snd-maestro3
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-maestro3 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-maestro3 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-maestro3 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ;
}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-maestro3

# my changes here
alias snd-card-1 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-1 index=1 enable=1
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/root/install.out 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >>/root/remove.out 2>&1
|| : ;}; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
# my changes end here

alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
[root@londonbroil ~]#

The module loads without error (neither at the command line nor in
/var/log/messages).  But I never get new device special files in /dev.
Running MAKEDEV sound returns without errors
[root@londonbroil ~]# MAKEDEV sound
[root@londonbroil ~]# ls -l /dev/dsp*
crw-------  1 root root 14,  3 Jan  9 10:32 /dev/dsp
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      3 Jan  9 10:32 /dev/dsp0 -> dsp
crw-------  1 root root 14, 19 Jan  9 10:32 /dev/dsp1
crw-------  1 root root 55,  0 Jan  9 10:32 /dev/dsp56k
[root@londonbroil ~]# ls -l /dev/mixer*
crw-------  1 root root 14,  0 Jan  9 10:32 /dev/mixer
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      5 Jan  9 10:32 /dev/mixer0 -> mixer
crw-------  1 root root 14, 16 Jan  9 10:32 /dev/mixer1

but the newly created device special files are not recognized.

But for some reason, my new card is listed as an Audigy LS instead of
a Soundblaster Live!

It's interrupt is also not listed in proc

I'm really at a loss here.  Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
