First, I will learn how it is to build a kernel-image by myself !! Second, I am trying to install the "alsa sound system". Because of that, I found a hint that I have to install the kernel-source-2.x.x package and then compile alsa modules, modify the moduls.conf ... So, I read the manpage about make-kpkg (difficult to understand) and some other manuals and found out that first of all I have to use make config (or menuconfig or xconfig). I agree the official kernel (2.4.18 newpmac) works well, but I have no sound yet and dmasound won't work. So, it will be great if you or somebody else give me some help.
