conf.modules bites, and I hate the concept of it (I hate the concept
of the entire rc.sysinit script to be honest- I think it should be
split into different more specific scripts)
If you are going to use a kernel w/o dmasound built in, load the
sound module from your rc.local script.
append this to the end of it:
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/dmasound.o
I'm mot *positive* that its in misc, I always build sound into my
kernel so I don't know precisely where the module would live- but you
find out by running
locate dmasound.o | grep modules
`uname -r` allows you to specify the full path (best when scripting
stuff executed as root) and not have to change your rc.local every
time you change the kernel version.
