modules.conf is NOT USED AT ALL in FC2 and FC3, because it was for the 
2.4.x kernel.  2.6.x kernel uses /etc/modprobe.conf, which should not 
require any manual editing because /etc/modprobe.conf.dist already has 
everything.

The old sound configuration tool has been removed, in favor of 
system-config-soundcard which should do the job.  Note that all ISA 
soundcard drivers were removed from FC2, but later re-added in FC3.
