Not really an improvement IMHO. The returned errors are unclear, the tools seem to ignore the verbose command line option. As a result I have been fighting with ALSA modules, modprobe.conf and modules.conf for days now. I've not managed to get all dependancies right yet, the only way to get my SB Live working is loading 20 modules by hand, one at a time... Somehow modprobe remains complaining about unresolved symbols. FWIW: 2.6.0 test 6, module-init-tools 0.9.14, mandrake 9.1 with modutils deinstalled. Jos
