Description

Following the example modprobe rule ​here results in failures like these: 

Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ac97_codec: Unknown symbol snd_interval_refine
Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ac97_codec: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_rule_add
Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ymfpci: Unknown symbol snd_ac97_resume
Jun  9 18:19:29 silky kernel: snd_ymfpci: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_new

Here is the modprobe rule:

install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm; modprobe snd-pcm-oss

Running manually after boot showed now problems. Finally I realized that the problem was that modprobe was not actually being run at boot, so the snd-pcm module wasn't being loaded. Adding the full path to /sbin/modprobe in /etc/modprobe.conf solved the problem.
