I previously posted about getting no sound on a Dell Optiplex GX150. I
was not able to get it working on that machine. 

So now I'm trying another Dell machine. This times it's a Precision 450.
Unfortunately it's trying to use the same audio drivers and I'm getting
the same results. In /var/log/messages I get:
Jul 30 13:08:02 sylvester modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command
for sound_slot_1

An lspci shows me this:
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97
Audio Controller (rev 01)

modprobe.conf has:
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 e1000
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

Alsa versions are:
alsa-lib 1.0.3a-2
alsa-lib-devel 1.0.3a-2
alsa-utils 1.0.3-1

I can get on alsa's list for help, but wondering if anyone has tried FC2
on a Dell Presicion 450?

Thanks,
James
