If i try to load the snd_via82xx module i get the following errors: WARNING: Error inserting snd_ac97_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/alsa-driver/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting snd_via82xx (/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/alsa-driver/pci/snd-via82xx.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg complains about version mismatches and unknown symbols (see attachment) With alsa-drivers-1.0.12-rc1 everything worked fine.

Uhm, did you compile both your kernel and alsa-driver w/ the same gcc version?
(In reply to comment #2) Yes. Everything compiled with gcc 4.1.1. As mentioned, i've compiled kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 and alsa-driver-1.0.12-rc1 and everything worked fine. Now i've updated to alsa-driver-1.0.12 and the module won't load.
This is a bug of the alsa-driver, not a gentoo bug! I've compiled the original alsa-driver from the alsa-project page, with the same result.I then recompiled the alsa-driver-1.0.12rc1 and everything works fine. So i filed a bug at the alsa buglist: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2415
Waiting on upstream then.
