Sorry, I have no idea what's wrong. The line above makes the system try to
load the sb module, while at boot you get a message that it fails.
I would check with '/sbin/lsmod' which (sound related) modules are loaded
and (if there are no conflicting modules loaded) try the ALSA drivers: 'su'
to root and at the # prompt:
# modprobe snd-card-sb16
# modprobe snd-pcm-oss
# modprobe snd-mixer-oss
[frans@amd frans]$ rpm -qf /usr/src/linux-2.4.8/alsa-driver-0.5.11/INSTALL
kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk
[frans@amd frans]$
So if you install the kernel-source-2.4.8-26mdk package you can read the ALSA
INSTALL file, it has an entry for your soundcard :)
