Did you tried try "/sbin/depmod -a" after loading the modules. I always 
point people to the alsa config page at ccrma as it's clear and 
understandable, here's the link:

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/installkernelandsound.html#SECTION00023200000000000000

The ccrma page is for fc1 and the 2.4 kernel but most of it is relevant.
