This modules.conf may help in cases where the beta won’t run.

This is the modules.conf from ASL 1.01 with one minor but critical modification:
load => res_smdi.so ; Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI)
I would avoid loading modules you do not need until you need them.
Stick with the basics until you have it running.
You should be able to take the one in the link and only adjust simpleusb/usbradio
