1 In order to use alsa-driver, you must not have alsa compiled in the
2 kernel, I dunno exactly how you got this error using alsa already if
3 everything was working before (unless you changed any settings on your
4 kernel config). Enable only the audio support, compile modules for
5 your sound-cards and let alsa-driver do the rest.
