Has anybody ever encountered this? I have almost completed my first gentoo installation! , i am sending this from KDE .

phyte,

When you insmod something, doing all the dependencies in the right order is your problem.

When you modprobe it instead, modprobe resolves the dependancies and loads other modules as required.

So, try modprobe emu10k1 and see what happens.

Further reading:-
man modprobe
man insmod
man rmmod
