If you're using debian, they have a few tools to make the compilation
stage a bit better. If you haven't used make-kpkg before, then now
is a good time to try. It will create the install files as a package,
so you get all the nice features with that.
So, first you'll need to make sure you have the source packages from
Debian. I see you are running woody, 3.0. I think these are in the
testing distribution. You can change your /etc/apt/sources.list to
grab them from the testing distribtion, and then change it back
once this is done.
apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-source
alsa-base provides things like /etc/init.d/alsa and updates to /etc/modutils.
alsa-utils provides the tools like amixer, aplay and so on, and
I think you can work out what alsa-source provides ;-)
Then make sure they the are 0.9rc3.
dpkg --list | fgrep -i alsa
Go to /usr/src and you'll see alsa-driver.tar.gz which is the source,
un-gzip/tar it. There is Debian documentation in the modules/alsa-driver/debian
directory. I also recommend using the same technique to download the
kernel-sourcee, you get a few more Debian specific goodies with it.
Read modules/alsa-driver/debian/alsa-source.README.debian
which has all the details about using make-kpkg and the compilation
process.
On a side note, I use 2.4.19 has been around for a while. I run it
because I have a new laptop, and so there is better support for
some of the bits and pieces. I will admit though, I can't get sound
to work because of PCI problems, but I'll be tyring 2.5.x rather
than go backwards on a kernel.
