Are these all rpm's distributed by redhat?
Have you run a myisamchk on your mysql tables?
Does other mysql/apache/php stuff barf too?

Definitely take Augie's advice and look at your log files, especially
httpd and mysql.  You may have to consult httpd.conf to see where apache
is logging to for that virtual host.

It may help to set up some more verbose php error logging:
<?php
error_reporting (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>

If it is CS4232, then see if cs4232.o is loaded.  (lsmod)  If it is not, load
it: # lsmod cs4232

You can set this up to happen at boot with the 'modconf' command.

If that doesn't work, pop in a knoppix cd (man, that name is coming up a
lot isn't it?) and do an lsmod to see what module(s) it loads for your
sound hardware.

And again, see /var/log/messages for clues.
