My DELL 8250 doesn't see my Soundblaster card

[Ken Jones]

I have a DELL 8250 machine with a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Series 
[WDM] card.
The machine is dual boot.  XP on one disk. Fedora Core 1 completely up 
to date (via yum) on the other.  XP sees my sound card fine and makes 
lovely music.  Fedora never sees the card.  (Neither does SUSE 9.1 Live.)

XP says the card is:  Location PCI Slot 3 (PCI bus 2, device 9, function 0)
I/O Range DC40- DC5F
IRQ 18

My /etc/modules.conf file looks like:
alias eth0 e100
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sb irq=18

I added the "options" command -- just guessing....
I have not the faintest idea what to do.   redhat-config-soundcard is 
one command that can not find the sound card.  There is no man for that 
command.
