Like I said, like your original message said, you do not appear to have the snd module. try the following sommand, the result of mine follows: $ grep -i snd /usr/src/linux/.config|egrep -v ^# CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m CONFIG_SND_PCM=m CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_MPU401_UART=m CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=m Allow for the fact that my sound card is an ac97/via card, and tell us what the difference is. oh and here is my lsmod|grep snd maybe don't worry about the midi stuff yet. You still seem to be missing some.
