es1869 sound not working in FC6



All,

I just upgraded from FC3 to FC6. I have a Compaq Deskpro EN with
onboard ESS1869 sound device. In FC3, it worked fine with the
snd-ess18xx module and a few /etc/modprobe.conf mods. Now, I do not
see the sound device in /proc/asound/cards. When I run
system-config-soundcard all I see is my WinTV card (I even tried
removing the bttv section from /etc/modprobe.conf thinking my TV card
may be causing the problem). A manual modprobe shows this:

[root@curmudgeon dan]# modprobe snd-es18xx
FATAL: Module snd_es18xx not found.

Then I saw that es18xx.ko is nowhere to be found under
2.6.18-prep/kernel/sound.

After a day or so of googling, I have found that lots of people had
this problem when upgrading to FC5, but I still have not found a
solution. I tried getting the ALSA source and compiling in the kernel
module, but their latest release must not be compatible with my kernel
source (lots of compile errors).

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Dan
