if i am trying to add my sound card device, and add the line device pcm into kernel do i have to recompile it to make it work and if so how do i recompile?
Rather than editing GENERIC, you may want to copy GENERIC and rename the copy (KERN[DATE] or KERNEL[DATE] are possibilities; I'm sure you can think of more), then edit, build and install the renamed version. Though problems are very unlikely to occur just from adding "device pcm," if at some point in the future an edited kernel doesn't build or install correctly, you then have the unchanged GENERIC to fall back on.
