alsa-modules-2.4.27-2-k7 have been compiled for kernel-image-2.4.27-2-k7, they won't work with 2.4.18.
If the guy says it won't work, it doesn't mean it will break your system
:-) Install initrd-tools. Then the new kernel. Don't abort this time.
Then, if you you use lilo, create the following entry in /etc/lilo.conf:
default=Linux-2.4.27
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-686
label=Linux-2.4.27
append="initrd=image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-686"
read-only
There is a single default= line in the whole file, so if you already
have it, change it accordingly.
Now run lilo. If something goes wrong, it will complain. Reboot to your
new kernel.
