[SOLVED]X-fi card and 2.6.30 kernel.

Hi. I've got Creative X-fi Titanium card and used this package:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21313

Successfully to install drivers for my card, and it worked flawlessly. Now, after kernel update to 2.6.30-ARCH and after reboot, I am greeted with KDE message saying that KDE detected this device was disconnected and if I want to permanently forget about it (or something like that). And in the list below there were two entries for my x-fi card. I chose no, then I removed ctxfi package from my system, recompiled it from AUR, and rebooted. The same thing. Strange, because now in Shaman, in the files list for ctxfi package, I get two files:

/lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/drivers/ssound/ctxfi.ko
/usr/share/licenses/ctxfi/CEULA

PS.: I thogught that maybe I needed to insert it manually as a kernel module, but I get:

[warnec@chakra ssound]$ sudo insmod ctxfi.ko
Hasło:
insmod: error inserting 'ctxfi.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

Thanks in advance!

PS.: Solved. NVM, I just needed modprobe to add ctxfi.ko, not insmod
I start to feel the Arch vibe - do it yourself, don't ask the others, it's more satisfying

Insmod will just load the module you specify while modprobe will take care of loading othe rmodules the specified module might need . It's a smart version of insmod, so to say.
