Re: 2.6.4 on a pismo?

[jim altieri <jim@tweeg.net>]

In my continuing quest (with help from many of you), I got a working 
kernel compiled and installed (the 2.6.5-rc2-ben0).  Of course, now my 
iMic has stopped working.  Unfortunately, not only in my new kernel, but 
in my old beautiful 2.4.25 kernel, too.  Bummer.  Can any of you give 
some tips to an enthusiastic but frustrated newbie to help him get his 
computer singing once again?

Some info: I compiled ALSA and USB Audio right into the 2.6 kernel, not 
as modules.  What kind of stuff that I would do in the process of 
installing a new kernel would make my old kernel end up deaf and dumb?

Please don't give me the tip, "Don't mess with a working configuration." 
I've already learned that one.

Thanks,
jim
