I have built kernels and alsa for 2.4.x several times and it has worked
fine for me. I have never encuntered the problems you describe so here
is what I do.
Make new kernel and install kernel. (with oss-drivers for my card, as
modules)
Boot with new kernel.
Check the /usr/src/linux symlink
Build alsa
Reboot and ok.
I remember that i had some problems getting alsa to start at first. I
think it was related to the oss driver being loaded. The alsa script was
ok I think.
try answering yes instead of abort and see what happens.
Good luck.
Kenneth.
