Thanks. That did it.
Todd Marek /* After some digging around, it turns out that depmod from modutils arou\ nd 2.4.13 returned a non-zero exit code under these circumstances, which would cause the alsa-modules postinst script to fail. Upgrading moduti\ ls (or installing module-init-tools) and/or changing the alsa-modules postinst to use depmod -a || true instead of just depmod -a should fix this. */
