Well it may be related Edit rc.sysinit, call devfsd with -t 2 option (should be enough); look in messages what happens with /dev/snd. Send me messages. Send me ls -lR /lib/dev-state as well. It needs to be done on startup to be sure to catch the error. I repeat - it works here. I would be happy to help but I have zero problems with stock kernels. I do have problems with kernels I compile but that's different story. -andrej
