First of all, in the kernel configuration, configure alsa (sound
support) as a module and don't select your card or anything else under
it.
For alsa, iirc there was some problem in the settings file with the
module names, but don't remember where and don't know if it was solved.
Also, make a link to /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 under /etc/modutils, and
then run update-modules (make sure that the entrees then appear under
/etc/modules.conf).
