sound init locks up my system

Greetings.

My sound in an on-board C-Media CM8738 chip.  During
the post install config, the system locks when I
attempt to play the test sound.  The only way to get
past this is to power down the system and reboot.  I
then skip the sound config and I am able to log into
gnome.  I cannot, however, log into kde, which locks
up upon peripheral initialization, which I strongly
suspect is sound related.

I searched Bugzilla, and I found bug 85757, filed for
Red Hat 8, but it has no action other than the initial
filing of the bug.

I know of no workaround, and I'm wondering if I should
try a different distro.  This idea is particularly
frustrating, because I decided to try Fedora after my
frustration with Mandrake 9.2's inability to correct
configure my sound card also, although the problem was
one that didn't lock up my computer, so I doubt the
two problems are related.

Any help would be appreciated.  The Fedora Project
looks like an exciting piece of work and this seems
like the only thing preventing me from enjoying it.

Michael
