problem with ALSA 1.09 and 2.6 kernel (AGNULA/Demudi)

[Dave Phillips <dlphilp@linux-sound.org>]

Greetings:

  Here's the hardware:

    HP Omnibook 4150 with NeoMagic NM256AV media chipset
    Midisport 2x2 USB MIDI interface
    CoreSound PDAudioCF PCMCIA digital audio input card

  Here's the software:

    AGNULA/Demudi 1.2.1 with 2.6.12 multimedia kernel
    ALSA 1.0.9rc2

  Here's the trouble:

    Although the snd-nm256 module loads without complaint 'cat 
/proc/asound/cards' reports no soundcards in the system. Ditto if I load 
the snd-pcaudiocf module. Still no soundcard. I'll try loading the 
Midisport after I get basic services working. :)

    I've tried loading the snd-cs4232 module instead (I've used it for 
this machine under the 2.4 kernels with no troubles) but it fails with 
these messages:

    demudi:/home/dlphilp# modprobe snd-cs4232
    FATAL: Error inserting snd_cs4232    
    
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-3-multimedia-686/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4232.ko): 
No such device
    FATAL: Error running install command for snd_cs4232

  I've appended relevant messages from dmesg and lsmod below. I'm not in 
a rush to get this working and I'm willing to spend time on it, so any 
suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Guenter Geiger suggested that I 
may need to load some extra kernel options but at this time I don't know 
which to try. Any advice out there ? :)

Best regards,

Dave Phillips
