Problema para Instalar ALsA

["Gustavo Moda (Yahoo)" <luisgustavomoda@yahoo.com.br>]

Amigos,

Instalei todos os pacotes do alsa, reodei o alsaconf, selecione o driver 
e dou o ok e ocorre o erro abaixo:
awk: read error (Is a directory)
cmp: /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0: Is a directory
cp: omitting directory `/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0'
ERROR! /etc/alsa/modutils/1.0 could not be saved.


Estou perdidinho, grato pela ajuda.
Abaixo dados da maquina.
