Cant find snd card after upgrade kernel

I just updated my kernel from 2.6.16-ARCH to 2.6.17-ARCH by pacman.

Then reinstalled alsa, alsaconf can recognize that my sndcard module is intel8x0, but when alsa start, it happended to can't find any card.

[root@sgu fluke]# /etc/rc.d/alsa start
:: Restoring ALSA Levels                                                 [BUSY] /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1236: No soundcards found...
                                                                         [FAIL]

What's worse, my mpd can't work now:

[root@sgu fluke]# mpd
ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device

ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
problems getting ao_driver_info
you may not have permission to the audio device

I can now only listen to the music by alsaplayer or xmms which can't control the volumn.

I can load snd-intel8x0, but alsa can't work, why?

I'm new to linux, I can't quite understand linux how to drive hardwares no.
