Your alsa modules are somewhere in the /lib/modules/2.4.18/ tree. Probably in 
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/

The easiest thing to do is to remove the whole 2.4.18 tree and do a new 
make modules_install in your linux source tree again. That ensures there are 
no modules lingering around (taken you didn't clean your build tree, in which 
case you of course first need to make the modules again).

After that you need to do a depmod -a

BTW. modprobe and depmod only look to modules.conf (which is generated by 
modules-update) so check that file wheter it is up to date, if not check the 
modules.d dir.
