I have a strange problem. I have been using ALSA modules from the kernel for some time without issue. I know they worked on gentoo sources 2.6.13.

They still sort of work now. Only with one problem, snd-usb-audio fails to load.

Code:
# modprobe snd-usb-audio

WARNING: Error inserting snd_hwdep (/lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)WARNING: Error inserting snd_rawmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/core/snd-rawmidi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Assuming that it is a problem with versions of modules I have tried the following...
Code:
# ls /usr/src/ -l

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   22 Dec  6 19:33 linux -> linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2
drwxr-xr-x  19 root root 1304 Dec  6 21:45 linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2

# uname -a

Linux max 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 #3 PREEMPT Tue Dec 6 21:14:27 GMT 2005 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

# rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make clean && make && make modules_install
# mount /boot
# cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2-max1
# cp .config /boot/config-2.6.14-gentoo-r2-max1
# umount /boot
# reboot

# modprobe snd-usb-audio


...same result as before. The rest of my ALSA setup works fine.

Code:
# lsmod

I have searched the forums and found no mention of this problem. Any advice would be most welcome.


SOLVED

I have solved this problem. For some reason the following kernel options will cause this error...

Code:
General setup  --->   
    [*] Automatically append version information to the version string
Loadable module support  --->
    [*] Module versioning support (EXPERIMENTAL)


Turn them off and all works fine. Looks to be a kernel bug. I shall see if it is already reported and if not post a report to the correct list.

On a side note I have checked and these get activated automatically by a make oldconfig without asking the user. I guess this is why we are warned not to use it when upgrading kernel versions for anything other than minor releases. :wink:

I have a similar problem as yours. I have in-kernel ALSA. snd modules fail to load at boot.
I have made exactly the same things as you have done in order to fix the problem, including disabling the two kernel options, as of above. But my problem persist:

Code:

# modprobe snd
FATAL: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
#


If anyone has an idea, please help[/code]
