The only reason is that this server has a ton of functionality on it, so 
recreating the functionality with a new OS is non-trivial and time-consuming, 
and while my box is down my mail bounces.  I will do it, but not quite yet.

As it happens, someone on the red hat mailing list with the same motherboard 
was able to help me.  One of the modules (the agp module) needed a parameter 
to work.

Still don't have sound working, but I have the sblive card from the old 
motherboard to throw in there if necessary.
