It looks like you have a pre-built kernel package, which I never used.
Does it support ALSA? Do you have the module(s) for that particular card?

I've been getting that message for weeks (under 2.6.x), but I have the
proper sound modules and sound works properly.

I'd say this indicates a lack of the proper driver module. If you have
the module(s), can you load them with modprobe?

The PCI driver in the kernel finds the device and recognizes it. To make
use of it, you need the ALSA (or, alternatively, OSS) module(s).

See which ALSA module is required for your soundcard.
If you don't have it (them), configure ALSA ("--with-cards=" or something
like that). Build and install the required module.
If you do have the it (them), load them manually or through /etc/modules.
I use, for ALSA under kernel 2.6:
snd-emu10k1
snd-emu10k1-synth
Or, do something similar for OSS.
