This is common with BIOSes for VIA chipsets. The Linux kernel has code to forcibly enable the AC'97 controller on VT8237-based mainboards. In the case of older mainboards like yours, which sometimes didn't have audio, this cannot be done automatically. Also check that Sound Blaster emulation is disabled. > but does not appear in the lspci output.

This is no surprise if you consider that RH 6.2 comes with kernel 2.2.14, which didn't yet have ALSA. I strongly suggest you forget those drivers and use the snd-via82xx driver of your distribution, which is likely to be newer by about eight years or so.
