It looks like the modules have not been loaded. Check
/var/log/messages to see why. Also check the output of lsmod (look for
instances of snd and sound substrings).

Best diagnostics can be made by running in single user (boot into
single user), make sure no snd/sound and related modules are loaded
and modprobe char-major-116. The errors should be displayed right on
screen.

Check also the output of

rpm -qa alsa*
rpm -q kernel
uname -a
