this depends on the kernel version.
the directory /lib/modules/xxx/misc is for 2.2 kernels, and
/lib/modules/xxx/kernel/sound is for 2.4 or later.
it's determined in configure script.  if the latter directory exists,
the files are installed there prior to the former location.

we should remove or correct the help description.

iirc rh7.1 has already 2.4 kernel system, so it must be ok.
most likely the configuration of alsa driver doesn't match with your
current kernel config.

please elaborate your prolbem.  what says modprobe?
what happens if you run "depmod -ae"?
