Well, that's how I do it, though under Debian dist that I use it looks
somewhat different (make-kpkg to compile debian kernel package and dpkg to
install it), but idea is right.
Literally here's how I do my kernel compiles -
rasa:~/temp/kernel$ tar xjvf linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2
rasa:~/temp/kernel$ cd linux
rasa:~/temp/kernel$ make menuconfig
rasa:~/temp/kernel/linux$ fakeroot
rasa:~/temp/kernel/linux# make-kpkg clean
rasa:~/temp/kernel/linux# make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
rasa:~/temp/kernel/linux# exit
rasa:~/temp/kernel/linux$ su -
rasa:~# cd /lib/modules
rasa:/lib/modules# mv 2.4.18 2.4.18.old
rasa:/lib/modules# cd ~martins/temp/kernel
rasa:/home/martins/temp/kernel# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18_custom.1.0_i386.deb
rasa:/home/martins/temp/kernel# cd /usr/src
rasa:/usr/src# ln -s /home/martins/temp/kernel/linux linux
While configuring kernel, do not forget to include sound support as a
module (but You know that already, right?)
Now I would go unpack alsa source somewhere, do ./configure, do
make, su to root and do make install. I would modify /etc/modules.conf
according to alsa documentation if not done so earlier. Also I would
compile and install the other custom modules like NVidia and such.
After all the above - reboot. Well, it works for me this way.
Good luck,
Martins
