OK, I've just had exactly the same problem so I can help you on this
one. First download the package kernel-source, and all the files it
links to on it's page. Install them all. Also, download tk8.0, tk
8.0-dev, tcl 8.0 and tcl 8.0-dev. Install them. Now, change into the
directory /usr/src/linux, then type 'make xconfig' while in X-windows.
Configure all the options you want, including sound support. Save and
exit. Now, in /usr/src/linux, type 'make dep ; make clean'. When that's
done (assuming there were no errors), type 'make zImage'. When that's
finished, go into directory /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/. Your new
kernel, called zImage, should be there. Now, if you boot off floppy,
just replace the kernel image on your floppy disk with zImage, and
reboot with the floppy in.
Incidentally, after doing all this, I still get patchy midi sound
through kmidi. It will play bits (the same bits each time) of a song,
then just stop playing until a new song starts. Can anyone help me on
this?
