You need to install the source code for your current kernel in order to compile certain applications. You should be able to find the required packages on one of your installation CDs, the packages you want to install will be called somthing like kernel-source-2.6.8-24.rpm and kernel-headers-2.6.8-24.rpm. Install those (rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/path/to/kernel-source-2.6.8-24.rpm) and then try to recompile your driver.
You might be able to use a intel8x0 sound module which you might already have on your computer. Try the following command as root: # modprobe snd-intel8x0 Now see if it has loaded with: $ /sbin/lsmod If it has, increase your sound levels (they default to 0 by default) and then try playing some sounds.
