Okay, I got the modules to load, somewhat. I followed the steps on this page: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/200338/comments/73 I was then able to load snd and snd-ice1712 successfully. I could even go into alsamixer and mess with some settings. Then I rebooted... Then it stopped working again. It turns out that the make install for alsa-driver source package was installing the files into the /lib/modules/.../kernel/sound/ directory. That's fine, but when I rebooted, the system would move that directory to /lib/modules/.../ubuntu/sound/ directory. Thus, when the modules were looking for stuff under .../kernel/sound, they could not find it. So, I put the soundcore.ko back in the .../kernel/sound/ directory, it worked!! Rebooted, it failed!!! I had to configure the compile with --with-moddir=.../ubuntu/sound/. Then it installed files to the right place, I could load the modules, I was happy... then I rebooted. Now, I can modprobe snd, and it works. When I try to modprobe snd-ice1712, it fails with: sudo modprobe snd-ice1712 WARNING: Error inserting snd_ac97_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting snd_ice1712 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/ubuntu/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) One of the files created from the page above was ac97_bus.ko. I assume this file is the one giving me problems. Is soundcore.ko looking for this file in .../kernel/sound? Please help.
