I know that I've had ALSA working on this laptop, unfortunately I can't
find my notes on how I installed it the last time. This time I'm getting
errors that give me no information on how to track down the problem.

Any ideas on where I can look for problems would be much appreciated!!
kernel: vanilla 2.4.20 patched for ACPI
alsa version: 0.9.4
debian: unstable

I've installed:
        alsa-base
        alsa-utils
        alsa-xmms
        alsa-source

cd /usr/src/
expanded alsa-driver

dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base and alsa-source to choose my sound card

cd /usr/src/linux
make-kpkg --append-to-version=.currentkernelname modules_image
(no errors at the end of the processing)

I do have the soundcore module loaded:
soundcore               3492   0 (autoclean)

In the dmesg output I can't find anything that looks like my soundcard
(ALI5451 is what I've been trying to install). The only thing that looks
remotely familar is that acronym ALI:

ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 80
ALI15X3: detected chipset, but driver not compiled in!
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:10.0ALI15X3: chipset revision 196

When I try to install the modules for ALSA I get the following:
