forte and ac97_codec are OSS drivers and can't be loaded at the same
time as the ALSA ones. You can remove them with 'modprobe -r <module>'.

It should be snd-fm801. forte is the OSS driver. Maybe hardware detection
(kudzu ?) running at boot is trying to configure OSS sound?

Maybe this is because of mixing src rpms and src tarballs
and having different versions of ALSA modules at the same time?
