Joe, what did you just upgrade?
Here's a couple of things you might check:
Is "soundcore.o" present under "/lib/modules/<your kernel name-version here>/" or
"/lib/modules/<kernel>/misc/"?
Also, do you have an "/etc/conf.modules" and/or an "/etc/modules.conf" file? Your
system might be looking for module information in one place (modules.conf) when it is
contained in another place (conf.modules). As I understand it, "modules.conf" is now
the prefered name, but you may have some important setting in an older "conf.modules"
file.
