As Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x/CentOS 5.x kernels are compiled without CONFIG_ISA kernel config, ISA and PCMCIA devices are not available.
Download and install the kernel package here to use such ISA/PCMCIA devices.

You would only need the binary. Other packages hadn't changed much from CentOS 5.x+ original.
Kernel is built for i586, which also runs on AMD K6-2 and IDT WinChip series.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| kernel-2.6.18-418.el5.v23.i586.rpm | Binary for i586 |
| kernel-devel-2.6.18-418.el5.v23.i586.rpm | Headers for your module building |
| kernel-2.6.18-418.el5.v23.src.rpm | Source |
This kernel has CMOV, FUCOMI, FCMOVcc emulation to make latest Firefox run, which uses i686 machine instructions without appropriate notice.

BTW Cyrix MII will run on stock i686 kernel (if you do not need ISA support).

For ISA cards, invoke "modprobe snd-sbawe" explicitly. Modules for ISA devices doesn't load automatically on boot, even for ISAPNP cards.
PCMCIA drivers would load automatically. If not, the card's signature needs to be added to the driver source. (backporting the newest vanilla kernel.org source should be sufficient)
See the Troubleshooting page.
Note:
CentOS 5.7 and after uses a single, fully aggregated patch against
the base kernel, not using the massive individual patches.
This dramatically reduces %prep time.
