The *alsaconf* script will write to /etc/modutils/alsa the proper
modules to be loaded by kmod, this will be incorporated into /etc/modules.conf
when update-modules is run. Make sure to remove old entries from
/etc/modutils/alsa. If you want to load modules yourself take a look at the
/etc/modutils/alsa and write a script using modprobe to do the same thing.
If you do a proper "make install" for the alsa_modules_source using
the include files created in the kernel compile: versions.h and modversions.h
,I think, Then you should not get missing symbols and the file
/lib/modules/whatever_kernel_you_compiled/modules.dep should have
the right dependencies for alsa.
Disclaimer:
I just jumped in on this thread again, so if this is obvious to
to you or is irrelevant and does not help or simply wrong - I apologize
in advance.
