ALl I have been trying to get ALSA working on my admitadly old IBM 300PL for the last while. Extensive Googling and several kernel recompiles later I think I am in reverse! I am running sarge kernel version 2.4.25 Here is the output of aadebug from the ALSA website

I then installed a cheap soundblaster card now when I try a dpkg -i on the alsa deb I get sarge:/usr/src# dpkg -D2000 -i alsa-modules-2.4.25alsa3_1.0.3-1+custom3_i386.deb (Reading database ... 37622 files and directories currently installed.)
