After installing the 1.0.22 kmdls and rebooting, no sound modules are 
loaded at all. So:

$modprobe -v snd-hda-intel
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.15.1.el5/updates/sound/acore/snd.ko
WARNING: Error inserting snd 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.15.1.el5/updates/sound/acore/snd.ko): Unknown 
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd_timer 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.15.1.el5/updates/sound/acore/snd-timer.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm

WARNING: Error inserting snd_hwdep 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.15.1.el5/updates/sound/acore/snd-hwdep.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd_hda_codec 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.15.1.el5/updates/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-164.15.1.el5/updates/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

And dmesg:

$dmesg
snd: Unknown symbol put_pid

Then if I uninstall the 1.0.22 rpm and install the 1.0.20 package, 
without rebooting I can install and use snd-hda-intel without issue.

Thanks a lot Axel. You provide a really important and helpful resource.
