alsa probelm with RedHat 8.0 and kernel 2.4.20-4.11.acpi

[Ralf Haller <ralf@brap.de>]

Hi everybody,

I installed the kernel 2.4.20 and the lates alsa drivers from planet 
ccrma. When starting the alsa drivers I get the following kernel oops:

[root@Baden root]# cat alsastart.log | ksymoops
ksymoops 2.4.5 on i586 2.4.20-4.ll.acpi.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.20-4.ll.acpi/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.20-4.ll.acpi (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.

Error (expand_objects): cannot stat(/lib/ext3.o) for ext3
ksymoops: No such file or directory
Error (expand_objects): cannot stat(/lib/jbd.o) for jbd
ksymoops: No such file or directory

Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Error (pclose_local): find_objects pclose failed 0x100
Warning (map_ksym_to_module): cannot match loaded module ext3 to a 
unique module object.  Trace may not be reliable.

2 warnings and 3 errors issued.  Results may not be reliable.

The following rpms are installed:

[root@Baden root]# rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-driver-0.9.2-4.1.cvs
alsa-kernel-2.4.20-4.ll.acpi-0.9.2-4.1.cvs
alsa-lib-0.9.2-4.cvs
alsa-lib-devel-0.9.2-4.cvs
alsa-utils-0.9.2-4.cvs
alsa-tools-0.9.2-4.cvs

Any ideas what goes wrong here? Everything works great with kernel 
2.4.19 though.
