[solved] snd-intel8x0 fails to load after kernel update

i've been holding the kernel at 2.6.13 so i wouldn't have to worry about getting wireless modules. but i went to 2.6.15 tonight:

[root@MobileEvil ~]# modprobe snd-intel8x0
WARNING: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd_timer (/lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/sound/core/snd-timer.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

FATAL: Error inserting snd_intel8x0 (/lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

and dmesg reads

... it goes on

any clues?

thanks
will

edit:
google search for "snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'" leads me to a page suggesting "device_mode=0666" in modprobe.conf is no longer supported by alsa (strange, as i still have the same alsa package) i removed it but still cannot load the module

final edit: the whole option line needed to be removed, not just device_mode

anyone know why it worked in .13 but not .15?

Re: [solved] snd-intel8x0 fails to load after kernel update

I had similar errors with my nfs-modules after a kernel upgrade. All I had to run was "depmod -ae" and it was fine again.
