Miata sound on 2.4.18 (Debian testing 3.0)

[sousa jack <sousa_jack@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

First of all, many thanks to everyone on these lists;
your friendly responses more than compensated for the
lack of machine-specific Linux/Alpha docs (compared to
i386/PPC).

Anyhow, I'm wondering if any Miata users have had luck
getting sound working with a late 2.4 kernel
(particularly 2.4.18).

I've had sound working on a Debian 2.2 / 2.2.19 box
using the docs at:
http://members.brabant.chello.nl/~s.vandereijk/miata.html

This consists of enabling the following modules:
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812=m
and loading them with proper arguments for int, io,
dma, etc.

On 2.4.18 however, I'm getting an error in the modules
portion of the build (using make-kpkg):
------------------------------------
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/arch/alpha/math-emu'
cd /usr/src/linux/debian/tmp-image/lib/modules/2.4.18;
\
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i
-r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F
System.map -b /usr/src/linux/debi
an/tmp-image -r 2.4.18; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/usr/src/linux/debian/tmp-image/lib/modules/2.
4.18/kernel/drivers/sound/sound.o
depmod:         plat_node_data
make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18'
make[1]: *** [real_stamp_image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18'
dove:/usr/src/linux# 
--------------------------------------------

I also tried dispensing with the standard OSS modules
and apt-got the alsa-source package.  Building it
(using make-kpkg --revision XXX modules_image)
following the instructions supplied yielded:
-------------------------------------------
gcc   -DALSA_BUILD -D__KERNEL__ -O2
-fno-strength-reduce -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8 
-mcpu=ev5 -DLINUX -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -I/usr/sr
c/linux/include -I.. -c -o isadma.o isadma.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:38: Error: macro requires $at
register while noat in effect
<ad nauseum, repeated 36 times> 
make[1]: *** [isadma.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/kernel'
make: *** [compile] Error 1
-------------------------------------------

Very nice :-/  Not being a developer, where should I
start?  

Is sound broken (for the time being) with Miata on
2.4.18?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions,
sousa
