2.6.33, alsa fails to load/no sound[SOLVED]

Ever since the move to the 2.6.33 kernel, I'm seeing following message during boot:

Unknown hardware: "ICH" "Realtek ALC100,100P rev 38" "AC97a:414c4326" "0x1019" "0x0a14"
Hardware is initialized using a guess method
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:1256: failed to obtain info for control #5 (No such file or directory)
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:1256: failed to obtain info for control #6 (No such file or directory)

Sound doesn't work anymore.

On a second machine, I get a similar message, the difference being the referenced soundchip(sblive card in that case), but sound still works...

Whats up?

Beetles and bacteria are vastly more successful than humans in terms of survival.

Ok, thanks for the pointer.

What ever the cause of this, in my case, simply running alsaconf and rebooting did the trick...
