Thanks for answering so quickly!
i did everything yuo said and for compiling vmlinux i had no problems...
For sound , instead i am still having troubles, infact i wasn't able to
select those few sound options in the kernel conf..., even doing make
menuconfig.
Ah i tried also make config, but nothing changed.
i send the .config file, in attachment if you mind to take a look at it!
Thanks a lot !
Dario
P.s. i need HELP also because my colleague using RH is annoying me,
considered that sound is working on his machine : (
BTW DEBIAN rules
