I am having a problem with sound in kernel 2.1.127. I have also tried kernels 112, 125.
I have SB AWE64 plug and play. Kernel is compiled with sound module support. When I boot I get message:
/lib/modules/2.1.127/misc/sb.o: unresolved symbol mod_firmware_load
sound: Device or resource busy

My /etc/conf.modules:
alias sound sb
options -k sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

When in /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/sb_common.c I comment lines between #ifdef and #endif, sound works:
#ifdef MODULE
/* if (!smw_ucode)

	{
		extern void *smw_free;

		smw_ucodeLen = mod_firmware_load("/etc/sound/midi0001.bin",
(void *) &smw_ucode);
		smw_free = smw_ucode;
	}

*/
#endif

Also there is a newer awe lowlevel driver ver.0.4.2d in
http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/awedrv/index.html
Why isn't it included in kernel source?

My kernel .config:

#

# CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370 is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371 is not set

Thanks for Mr. Yun YoungSun who helped:

I had the same problem in 2.1.127, 128.
As you know, sb.o is called by kmod utility for enabling sound card. I found that in Makefile, if CONFIG_SOUND=y (not module), then soundcore.o isn't created.
But if the CONFIG_SOUND=m, then everything is fine.
