Volla !! Its working !!!. Thanks a lot Ionut and others. I have installed the new image and alsa modules, ran alsaconf, tuned with alsamixer and xmms is working :-)
But in doing so some how the newly installed kernel doesnot get connected to the net. with bf2.4 I was using a ADSL (DSL 502T )connection with a Realtek card. I even tried to insert 8139too modules using modconf. It installed the module. But the problem is eth0 is not being configured by dhcp using the ADSL router.
Please have a look at my listing /proc/net/dev

Inter-|  Receive  |  Transmit  face |bytes    packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes    packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed
    lo:    8248    124    0    0    0    0          0        0    8248    124    0    0    0    0      0          0
  eth0:      0      0    0    0    0    0          0        0        0
0    0    0    0    0      0          0

which shows eth being present. But ifconfig does not -

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:8248 (8.0 KiB)  TX bytes:8248 (8.0 KiB)


Anyt clues ???
