I've emerged media-sound/emu10k1-0.20a-r7 because the module included with the kernel ignores the settings of /etc/emu10k1.conf The problem: It seems the ebuild doesn't create a module because when I try to load the module it fails because modprobe can't locate it: # modprobe -v emu10k1 install /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install emu10k1 && { /usr/bin/emu10k1-script restore; } FATAL: Module emu10k1 not found. FATAL: Error running install command for emu10k1 In fact,if I run # equery f emu10k1 I can see that no files are created at /lib/modules To see if the problem were in the restore script,I've edited /etc/modules.d/emu10k1 and commented out the 2 lines, the run modules-update, but I get the same error: # modprobe emu10k1 -v FATAL: Module emu10k1 not found. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge emu10k1 2.modprobe emu10k1 Actual Results: Modprobe fails with the error: FATAL: Module emu10k1 not found.
