Then what you were/are seeing possably are not error messages, otherwise
they would be written to your system log.
I suggest you check to see if you are looking in the correct logfile, check
/etc/syslog.conf to see if some types of messages get sent to anything other
than "messages", it could well be some get sent to "syslog" or "kernel".
dmesg shows whats been attached at boottime, Redhat also has a file called
dmesg in /var/log its a copy of the origanal boot messages which will not
change like the command dmesg does, because dmesg is a ring-buffer and is
only 4k i belive.
I belive doing 'cat /dev/sndstat' should give any details of a soundcard
which has been found and initalised, if you get a return of;
cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device
then your soundcard was not attached.
