I just bought a brand new computer and I'm having a hell of a time configuring it under linux

. My audigy2 soundcard doesn't work under linux, so I downloaded the emu10k1-v0.20a.tar.bz2 file, which was supposed to offer audigy2 compatibility.
After decompressing the file, I did : make, then make install as root.
Here what it shows:
**
** The driver was successfully compiled, now install with:
** make install
**
mkdir -p //lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1
install -c -m 664 emu10k1.o /lib/modules/2.4-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1
install -c -m 664 ac97_codec.o //lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/sound
/sbin/depmod -a 2.4.21-0.13mdk
/sbin/modprobe -r emu10k1.o ac97_codec.o
ac97_codec.o: Device or resource busy
make: *** [install] Error 1
I tried deleting the ac97_codec.o file, but I got the same error message after doing make install. I also tried to install it in a console in X and in a console without X running, but I always get the same error message. Is there something I'm doing wrong???
Thanks!
