Hi, another huge newbie here. I'm having almost the exact same problems, except that i already run the 2.6 kernel. I can install alsa-base and alsa-oss with no problems but when i try to run alsaconf i get the same message: "No supported PnP or PCI card can be found. Would you like to probe legacy ISA sound cards/chips?".
Here are the results of lsmod:
