Module not loading correctly on boot

I need a daily build of ALSA's driver for my soundcard to work, and while I can modprobe it okay, it isn't loaded on boot (the old version in Arch's repos is.) How can I get the daily version to load automatically instead?

Put it in the modules section of your /etc/rc.conf.

It is.

Or do I need something more specific than just snd-hda-intel?

Where are both modules located ?

At least one is at /lib/modules/2.6.22-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko

modprobe -l returns the same thing regardless of which one is being used.

Re: Module not loading correctly on boot

You need to make sure the old module is unloaded, overwrite it with the new one, run depmod, and then load the new one. If you have any doubt about the old module being unloaded, overwrite with the new one and reboot.

modinfo <module_name> gives you module details.

Overwrote the .ko file, but the same thing still seems to be happening.
