I have built kernels and alsa for 2.4.x several times and it has worked fine for me. I have never encuntered the problems you describe so here is what I do. Make new kernel and install kernel. (with oss-drivers for my card, as modules) Boot with new kernel. Check the /usr/src/linux symlink Build alsa Reboot and ok. I remember that i had some problems getting alsa to start at first. I think it was related to the oss driver being loaded. The alsa script was ok I think. try answering yes instead of abort and see what happens. Good luck. Kenneth. > > -- > Ashley Noel Hinton > > >
