if it were /lib/modules/preferred, then this is a special handling in alsa-driver's configure script for rh-5.1. if this directory exists, configure will use this location in prior to others. perhaps this doesn't match any longer with the recent redhat releases. if so, we should remove this workaround. > Is it possible that this is due to the version of modutils that I > have, and not related to the kernel at all?
