As an amd64 alsa user I haven't had this problem. Try using a different kernel config. I like to use pappys seeds when something breaks, to see if it's just me. 
http://www.kernel-seeds.org/

I actually did the r6 to r10 transition too.

thank you for the seeds link. just to update.
alsa in now working. when i configured the kernel with menuconfig. i still had no luck.
if i looked in the kernel config. there seemed to be no info there on sound. even
dough i had added it by way of menuconfig
i manually opened up the config file and added the relevant stuff.
rebuilt kernel. alsa is working.

Please provide kernel config and list of files in /lib/modules/`uname -r` if the problem still exists.
Also use "make oldconfig" when transferring a kernel config from an old to a new kernel.
