Tauper, The problems I have had w/ Mandrake (please note I am somewhat inexperienced, so please take this with a grain of salt) is the initial installation. In Mandrake 8.1 many had problems with sound because the installation had both Alsa and OSS drivers. I finally opted for OSS drivers, removed all modules, rebuilt a new kernel and "configured" the OSS drivers. I am back trying Alsa again though, and have problems with drivers, not tghe module loading per se.
My advice 1. compile and install a new kernel (don't make/install the modules, juts add soundcore module, OSS or any other drivers) 2. mv your current lib directory to a backup directory 3. make modules && make modules_install 4. Proceed with then alsa installation Do a "depmod -a" at the end. No errors, ok, you are one step ahead. HTHs.
