Thanks a lot for your help. We have a _lot_ more packages here, so things take 
a bit to sort out. I move most of the X-related stuff to stage2 now, try to 
get things going and then move it step by step back to stage1 until something 
breaks.

I use the alsa driver package, so these modules shouldn't be required as I see 
it, right? This config is not used in stage1 anyway, so the stage1 problem 
cannot depend on this kernel config.

The 'hack' is for stage1, since the author wanted to keep alsa there...

I know. I tried to follow all the dependencies, but lost track in all those 
packages I use.

Will continue to work it out.
