The kernel images that are available to you at install time are on disk
1 of the suse cdrom under suse/images. It's kind of a pain to find which
one your using as their named similarly. After you locate it, you can
copy it to /usr/src/linux and rename to .config. After that, you should
be able to check out the original settings. I had the same problems with
ppp and vfat when I rebuilt my kernel, but I had elected to compile
those features as modules, and the didn't work. I then compiled them
into the kernel and that seemed to solve the problem. Does anyone know
which features should be compiled as modules and which should be put in
the kernel? The reason I ask is that I didn't include support for IPX in
my kernel, and when I switch the the console listing the background
messages I saw a bunch of lines saying that the kernel didn't have IPX
support.

My understanding was that you still have to compile sound support, you
just don't need to set any low level driver options during the config.
