1) "make mrproper" should be the first step when recompiling a kernel
from the kernel-source package since it has previously be used to
compile our various kernel (up, smp, enterprise [smp+highmem],
secure, linus (no patches), BOOT [for drakx installer]).
most people don't do it and have problems.
2) alter the extraversion in main Makefile so that you don't screw up
the mandrake kernel if you make something wrong (there's a rescue
on the first cd but just avoid troubles)
eg: in mdk9.0, we now alter it by default ("EXTRAVERSION = -16mdk"
became "EXTRAVERSION = -16mdkcustom")
these 2 items should prevent versionning problems regarding modules
3) you can then steal the mdk kernel config from /boot/config (link on
/boot/config-2.4.....)
4) note that if you boot with a kernel with alsa-0.9.0, all your alsa
apps won't work unless you use them in oss emulation mode.
it may be a lot simpler to update to mdk9.0, either by urpmi or by
running drakx from cds or the net (just cat images/network.img on a
floppy)

alsa default to /usr/src/linux which should be a link to
linux-2.4.8...
it might just be simpler to steal juan patch that put alsa in sound
directory (look at linux-2.4.19-qX tarball and the mdk9.0 srpm spec
file)
but then, it's even simpler to recompile the srpm or just install the
binary rpm from mdk9.0 ...

hum, mdk9.0 is compiled with module versionning and we've no problems
(i mean there're bugs but not such problems)
