No dice - did what you suggested: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17 /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.17
/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10 /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver -> /usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10 New error: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10/kernel' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h', needed by `sound.o'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.5.10/kernel' make: *** [compile] Error 1 this is because the /usr/src/linux/include doesn't have a number of the important files in /usr/include/linux. Anyone else managed actually to do this?
