What did RedHat 9 find for your sound card?   Waht was in your 
modules.conf file for sound cards?

Can you find the same (or similar) modules in Fedora Core for your sound 
card?  Can you insmod (or modprobe) them in by hand?  soundcore is a 
dependant module that should be loaded as a dependancy of some higher up 
sound card module.  The trick is to find the higher up module and 
configure it in your modprobe.conf file properly.

We need more details!  Maybe an "lspci" or the information from your 
/etc/sysconfig/hardware file from RH9 would be a good starting place.
