Well, you're probably getting device busy errors if some left-over alsa-0.4.1 driver is loading. Or, though I doubt it, OSS/Free modules are loaded somehow, that's the sound driver that comes with the kernel. As for the version conflicts, are they unresolved symbols or just plain kernel version conflicts? If they're true kernel version conflicts, make absolute sure that your /usr/src/linux kernel source tree version exactly matches the version of the running kernel. You can find out the running kernel version by doing "uname -r". This one happened to me once, my kernel source tree was 2.2.12 and my kernel running version was 2.2.12-20.. As you can imagine, this happened when I was using redhat. My only way that I can think of to fix the problem is to remove als ALSA modules and then just install 0.5.7 again. This will get rid of any left-over 0.4.1 drivers. For the kernel version conflict, either recompile the kernel with the version in the source tree or get the source tree of the kernel version you're running.
