First /proc/asound appeared now - in the first try the modules weren't correctly loaded.
The card is shown there

 0 [IXP            ]: ATIIXP - ATI IXP
                      ATI IXP rev 0 with ALC658D at 0xfe029000, irq 217


I added some instrumentation to the driver now and the probe function seems
to run completely - at least it hits its return 0.

The device file is also still there so I don't think udev is to blame.
