Volla !! Its working !!!. Thanks a lot Ionut and others. I have installed the new image and alsa modules, ran alsaconf, tuned with alsamixer and xmms is working :-)
But in doing so some how the newly installed kernel doesnot get connected to the net. with bf2.4 I was using a ADSL (DSL 502T )connection with a Realtek card. I even tried to insert 8139too modules using modconf. It installed the module. But the problem is eth0 is not being configured by dhcp using the ADSL router.
Please have a look at my listing /proc/net/dev
Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed
lo: 8248 124 0 0 0 0 0 0 8248 124 0 0 0 0 0 0
eth0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
which shows eth being present. But ifconfig does not -
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

Anyt clues ???
