One thing I've noted that if you build (or just run make config) theKai,
kernel in the /usr/src/linux-2.4 source-tree (i.e. the files from the
kernel-source rpm package), building alsa-lib will fail as it finds the
wrong kernel name (2.4.xx-yy-custom instead of the kernel that is actually running). If the kernel-source tree is clean, alsa-lib compiles fine.
I also use Red Hat.
I understand that you probably read a tip say that this was necessary. And it is necessary, as far as I recall, in order to build the drivers.
The steps are: 1. Copy the appropriate config file from /boot to /usr/src/linux-n.n.nn/.config 2. You need to edit the Makefile to remove the "custom" part from the "EXTRAVERSION" variable 3. make oldconfig 4. make dep
Alternatively, you could build AND INSTALL your own kernel (be sure that the "custom" part is back in the Makefile first, though), because Red Hat throws in the kitchen sink and the toilet in their precompiled kernel RPMs. Although Red Hat often bitches about it, you can make your system run better on a kernel that is actually configured for your system. I usually copy in the config file into the source directory, run 'make menuconfig', and build a kernel that's better suited to my preferences and my hardware, which improves performance and usability.
