ALSA sound modules not loading

[Marshal Wong <masee@iceman.debian.org>]

I'm using the latest potato right now.  The ALSA source compiled fine.
I used make-kpkg to install the modules.  But for some reason the
module won't start.  Every time I run /etc/init.d/alsa start, I get
the following.

Starting sound driver: snd-card-interwave /etc/init.d/alsa: line 10:  7070 Segmentation fault      /sbin/modprobe $line >/dev/null 2>&1
failed.

To get this, I had to edit the file /etc/init.d/alsa to awk
/etc/modules.conf as opposed to conf.modules, since the new potato has
finally removed the old style conf.modules.  

a lsmod right after gives:

I can manually "modprobe snd-card-interwave" and it gives me no error,
so I have no idea what's going on.  

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
