Help with alsa-driver fm801 chipset

All I've installed the alsa driver set with out any error. But when I went to load the driver via modprobe snd-card-fm01 I can these errors "/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/misc/snd-card-fm801.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/misc/snd-card-fm801.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/misc/snd-card-fm801.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/misc/snd-card-fm801.o: insmod snd-card-fm801 failed"

and in the log file I get:
"Nov 12 18:34:39 testbox2 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-464c

I had a similar problem with an ESS Maestro 3 card on Red Hat 8.0. What I found out was that the system was loading a module (maestro3.o) which didn't work. When I compiled ALSA for my card, I got a new module (snd-maestro3). I had to rename the old maestro.o to something else, and modify the /etc/modules.conf to match.

In short, I would check to make sure that the file that is specified in modules.conf is the correct file for the system and that the file actually exists.

Hope this helps.
