Thanks to the readers of debian-user I have successfully recompiled my kernel. Thank you to all who responded to my pleas, I couldn't have done it without your help.
I am getting a message during boot that I don't understand: WARNING: no modules present for this kernel in place of the loading modules message my old kernel gave. This doesn't seem have any adverse effect because I compiled all the stuff I need into the kernel, but it perplexes me because I did (to the best of my ability) compile in module support, with a few things like file systems I probably won't use, as modules. If anyone knows what this is, I would appreciate a clue. But it is not critical as everything on my system including the sound card is working now.
