I uprgraded my 2.2.19 kernel to 2.4.2. Doing so, the sound module that was finely detected with the lower kernel was not recognised by the new kernel. Even by using sndconfig, no sound module could be found. I looked in the /lib/modules/2.4.2 and the module was listed there, the same name as the module for the previous kernel in /lib/modules/2.2.19

What do I have to do so the new kernel will look for these modules automatically?
I did all the make process: make install, make modules_install, make dep and so on. Maybe I forgot something that was not indicated in the HOW-TO for the kenel modules.
Thank for your help.

try modprobe xxxx.o where xxxx.o is the name of the module for your sound card
If your cand is a pnp card try sndconfig.

Take a look of your /etc/modules.conf file too

With my undetected PCI sound card, the fix was to disable the "PnP OS" in the BIOS. On reboot, not only the sound card, but the PCI NIC were both detected immediately. An unbelievable amount of time was wasted to reach this point. It pays to digest every word in the install docs.
