The built-in kernel module handler inserts modules fine (most notable the
sound modules). However, it cannot cleanly remove unused modules. Here's
a kernel error message from when it tried to automatically clean the
unused modules:

(This is where I did a cat /dev/sndstat to register the sound modules)

Here's the output from lsmod after this happens:
root rox!! # lsmod
Module Size Used by
lsmod: QM_INFO: No such file or directory
Any ideas or patches? Or could it be that I'm just a complete idiot and
didn't read some instructions somewhere? ;)
Thanks...
