Please help! libkmod ERROR bad line

for the pas couple of days I'm booting on linux mint 20.1 and getting this error:

Code:
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf line 44: ignoring bad line starting with options
 libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf line 44: ignoring bad line starting with options
and after a few seconds goes to a terminal screen asking for user and password. I've logged and accessed the folder in question but wasn't able to alter it(even with sudo), it was as read only.

This is what I tried so far: 1 - I've booted a usb with live mint on it, accessed the folder with sudo and tried deleting the 44th line, restarted and nothing changed. 2 - Booted with usb again, deleted the alsa-base.conf and restarted and got the error again (now without the line 44 part). 3 - Booted with usb, copied the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf from the live etc folder and pasted on my linux etc folder and got the same error(with the line 44 part)

Can someone help me with this, please I've posted in like 4 different forums and didn't got a single reply?

First and foremost:
What's on line 44?

Then:
Quote:

This is strange, and sounds wrong.
Maybe the whole system went read only? If it did I'm sure it has nothing to do with ALSA, at least not directly.

More questions:
Quote:

"Nothing changed"? So, it still complians about line 44, as before, and drops you to a command prompt?
Quote:

Are you saying the error message now reads "libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" and nothing else, then drops you to a TUI prompt? Or what?

Please be precise.

You also might want to look at the journal, and at other logs. Try 'dmesg'.
Keep an open eye & mind; this is not necessarily ALSA-related.

edit:
same thread also here.

Thank you so much!

I used the dmesg you've mentioned and it pointed to a bad line on the fstab file, I've changed and now it's working

the alsa-base.conf file is still showing but now I'm not going directly to the TUI.

Again, thank you!
