Possibly an SMP issue? Is this a dual Celeron system? Is there such a
thing as a Hper Threading Celeron?

This is your only kernel. OK.

Clearly nothing close to enough stuff is loaded as modules. Either you
built it into the kernel or the modules weren't loaded. It's probably
the latter since it doesn't find your card.

This looks pretty reasonable.

Please provide the following info:

cat /proc/asound/version

slocate snd- | grep modules

cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SND

cat /etc/modprobe.conf

Good luck,
