Hey,

I need to compile the kernel as i havnt been able to get the sound card 
working on my laptop.

The laptop is a omnibook 4150A, the B version is supported quite well  
from what i have seen on the internet, but i havnt had much luck with 
this laptop on anything other than mandrake, so i am assuming that if i 
recompile the kernel i can add in what ever mandrake used for my sound card.

from a few sites they say its a CS4282 but everything i have tried so 
far hasnt worked so i am hopping this compile will sort it :)

I wont include the desktop hardware i was just curious as it's using the 
desktop to compile so i thought it might be needed :)

Thanks.
Grant.
