Make sure you have kernel autoloader compiled in. Here's how mine
works...
/etc/conf.modules...
alias sound sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=10 dma=0 dma16=5
And then make sure that /lib/modules/default is linked to your kernel
version (mine is /lib/modules/2.2.0). It works fine for me. Also make
sure you do a depmod -a on every boot. Unless you've changed this, your
distro should do it for you. It needs that info to fine the depednencies
for the modules needed to load. I guess you don't have to do it on every
boot, but it just makes it easier than running it by hand every time you
recompile your modules.
