2.5.74 kernel with alsa

[Collins Richey]

Excuse the crosspost (also gento to gentoo-user), but I'm not having
much luck.  Alsa seems to be a POS, but that's the wave of the future.

For non gentooers, modules-update is a script that rebuilds the
/etc/modules.autoload file used during bootup.

Yeah, the old "should be ok."  I have all the necessary modules and
settings and modules-update, but no joy.

The OSS driver ens1371 woked just fine on 2.4.x, but the fscking alsa
won't handle it!  At boot, I get 

	Jul  5 07:45:29 richeypc3 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device
	0000:00:09.0 
	Jul  5 07:45:30 richeypc3 kernel: AC'97 0:0 does not respond - RESET

If I do modprobe snd-ens1371, all the usual suspects load (see below) ,
but devfsd will not make any /dev/xxx entries for sound (did kill -HUP
nnn after the modprobe).

	snd_ens1371            13572  0 
	snd_rawmidi            14720  1 snd_ens1371
	snd_seq_device          4100  1 snd_rawmidi
	snd_pcm                62592  1 snd_ens1371
	snd_page_alloc          4612  1 snd_pcm
	snd_timer              15872  1 snd_pcm
	snd_ac97_codec         39428  1 snd_ens1371
	snd                    30724  7
	snd_ens1371,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_ac97_codec

Any ideas?
