I think I have the same problem as Ville. I am running 2.2.1 and getting
the error message 

  /lib/modules/2.2.1/misc/snd.o: unresolved symbol request_module

when executing <modprobe snd>. I guess this has to do with the kerneld --
kmod replacement as this is not a problem in 2.0.x kernels. I found these
lines in the kernel documentation:

Kmod: The Kernel Module Loader
Kirk Petersen

Kmod is a simple replacement for kerneld.  It consists of a 
request_module() replacement and a kernel thread called kmod.  When the
kernel requests a module, the kmod wakes up and execve()s modprobe,
passing it the name that was requested.

So I guess this is where things have changed and are not so compatible
anymore...

I am running the newest mod-utils (2.1.121-2), so I hope this is not the
problem. Also I applied patch soundcore-2.2.1 to my kernel, and recompiled
everything under the new kernel with patch.

My conf.modules looks like this at the moment

alias net-pf-3 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off

alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-audiopci
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-4 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-5 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-minor-oss-12 snd-pcm1-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-audiopci
options snd snd_major=14 snd_cards_limit=1

alias eth0 3c59x

which should, as far as I can see, do the relevant mappings...

	Thanks for your help
