This post will totally betray my ignorance, but i'd rather try to help someone
:-) I had similar errors with one installation (of Mandrake) and i don't
remember how i solved it. Here are a few things that come to mind.
Have you:
1) explicitly made sure that the correct modules are configured before you
build & install your kernel?
2) typed "depmod -a" lately?
3) run sndconfig?
4) fiddled with modprobe, insmod and rmmod to try to get your module loaded
correctly?
Sorry i can't give more definative direction :-)
peace
