Hello,
I'm using the x86_64 architecture branch and have simply copied the
kernel into my configuration of a 2.4.21 kernel.
I have the following lines in /etc/modules.conf:
alias eth0 r8169
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
With the 2.4.21 kernel everything worked fine, with the 2.6.1 kernel I
get the following behavior:
modprobe eth0
(no error, but r8169 not loaded)
modprobe r8169
(module r8169 is loaded and works)
modprobe snd-card-0
(FATAL: Modul snd_card_0 not found)
modprobe snd-via82xx
(module snd-via82xx is loaded and works)
I'm not really a kernel expert and so I have to ask:
Am I right, that this could be a problem of the kernel?
Is this the wildcard problem that was fixed in mm1?
Should I try mm1 or where should I begin to search for the problem?

Seems that you do have module_init_tools so you are fine there, but you
are editing /etc/modules.conf. On a 2.6 kernel using module_init_tools,
you need to use /etc/modprobe.conf.
So we've gone from conf.modules to modules.conf to modprobe.conf. Keeps
things interesting!

you have to install module-init-tools it has a modprobe that works with 2.6 modules. See Document/Changes under your linux 2.6 sorce
