I have a similar problem.  My modules.conf from FC1 included the following:
alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
options sound dmabuf=1 
alias synth0 opl3
options opl3 io=0x388 
options cs4232 isapnp=1

Simply copying this into modules.conf for FC2 didn't work:
$ /sbin/modprobe sound-slot-0
FATAL:  Module cs4232 not found.

I've also seen reference to snd-card-cs4232 which likewise give:
$ /sbin/modprobe snd-card-cs4232
FATAL:  Module snd_card_cs4232 not found.

In FC1 I had to use sndconfig to get sound to work (redhat-config-soundcard
didn't see it and neither does system-config-soundcard in FC2).  I notice
that sndconfig is not included with the FC2 distro....
