I was afraid to figure out all the kernel selections, for fear of messing up
sleeping and other energy saving stuff.

I naively thought that since the debian kernel choices are likely completely
appropriate for such a standard device as a standard ibook; 
I could stick with that. I figured everyone else was using the exact same
equipment :).

Then after I upgraded to the latest debian sid packages for 
2.6.15-1-powerpc linux-headers and linux-image yesterday, 
I had no sound and saw that alsa was not working. 

I just ran module-assistant and just followed its directions. 
I had done that
before for debian on a 386. I selected alsa in module assistant.  Module
assistant downloaded some alsa stuff and tried to  compile and failed. The
compile error is at home. I will post it tomorrow.

If you can tell me an alternative and perhaps give me a .config file 
appropriate for my box, I would be glad to compile alsa 
directly into the kernel, or
whatever is neccessary.

Thank you!
