Known issue. Check /etc/modprobe.conf, edit it (carefully) and make sure
there are no extra spaces at the end of the "Options" lines, specially
for the one module that is failing to load. 

Save the file, do a "/sbin/depmod -a" and restart alsa
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound restart). That should do it. 

Something (I don't know what) is inserting those spaces in modprobe.conf
and messing up the load of the modules.
