depmod/modprobe is basically just a handy way to automatically load
module dependencies. It may or may not be overkill for an embedded system.

FWIW, you should be able to run 'depmod' to generate modules.dep on the
system where you built the kernel. The target system only needs modprobe.

Did you try to run 'insmod snd.ko snd_pcm.ko' manually before the
'insmod snd-dummy.ko'. That should work as well.


Hi Robin,

It was reply-to munging that got me on that previous reply.

I think there might be some weird stuff with the build/make utility on my target
which builds the sound files but isn't seeming to include them in my kernel image.
I'll try and figure out all that before rattling the list again.

Thanks for your assistance.

Rory
