ah, I understand right now what you're trying to do - you need basic
OSS/ALSA removed completely.

which compiler versions do you have installed? On sarge the 2.6.20 should
compile as far as I remember.

You might have to set the right compiler I'm not sure I think 4.X is the one
with the problem, so I would try with something older.

The other thing would be to compile on another machine (you need to check
options/Makefile for this) and move the images and drivers over (because
the new OSS driver will probably fail with the old compiler ;) that would
compile the older kernel )
