This would imply that the module cs4236.o is not installed (at least in
the right place). One caveat.. when you issue this command, you _were_
running the correct kernel, aren't you? The command "modinfo" will
look under /lib/modules/<current-running-kernel>/ for this module.

It shouldn't. As I said above, it will automatically search the
directory under the currently -running kernel.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the wrong kernel if you're running 2.4.25alsa3

Did you get anything with this command? It appears you have this module
loaded below...

It appears that you should be set up to make some sounds.

It sounds like you may not have that module compiled - although it
probably would have the name snd-es1370, not sure
One thing you might want to try, if you didn't do this at first. You
might want to go back into your alsa modules directory, maybe 'make
clean', or even delete the alsa modules directory and untar the sources
again. then, in the /usr/src/alsa-driver directory, do
./configure --with-cards=snd-cs4236<,another card if desired><,still
another>
You might issue the command ./configure --help, I use a couple others
--with-synthesizer (I think), and there's a --with-pnp or something,
too. Make-kpkg will configure the modules, but I don't think it allows
you to do these things.
After you compile and re-install, look in your
/lib/modules/<kernel-name>/alsa directory and see if the needed modules
are there.
