Okay, ONE MORE THING!

I did see a problem where there would be a /lib/modules/preferred
directory, and alsa would install everything there. If so, copy all the
snd* things to /lib/modules/2.x.x/misc, do a depmod -a to rebuild the
dependencies, and remove /lib/modules/preferred directory. It  might
also help to rename (if you are using redhat) the
/usr/modules/2.x.x-whatever directory to just 2.x.x. always do a depmod
-a after doing anything. Note that 2.x.x is actually the version number
of your kernel (2.0.35 for latest redhat 5.1). This is only for those
people who don't recompile your kernel. If you compile your kernel, this
shouldn't happen.

The problem here is that modprobe doesn't know where the alsa modules
are, and redhat is kindof screwy about the /lib/modules structure.
