ALSA & 2.4.1 kernel

[David Meiser <dmeiser@cbu.edu>]

While trying to compile ALSA with the 2.4.1 kernel, the following message was 
returned:

I am going to *attempt* to recompile the kernel with a new custom number & 
remake the ALSA modules.  However, I was wondering if anyone had any 
suggestions?  Thanks, DAVE
