Okay, you need the alsa-modules. Thes must match not only the kernel
version, but the actually compiled kernel, as well. So you could
either install a debian kernel-package and a debian alsa-modules
package, that match eech other.
Or you can compile your own kernel and your own modules. You should
not do this by hand, but instead "the debian way", and that is the
tool "make-kpkg" from the "kernel-package". Ifyou use this, compiling
a kernel an the alsa-modules is a breathe.
Just install kernel-package, alsa-source and have a kernel-source
handy. You need to unpack the archive "alsa-driver.tar.gz" in
/usr/src/ as well.
Read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz or just look for the word
"impatient" there :)
You'll find this:
For the Brave and the impatient:
Phase ONE: Getting and configuring the kernel
1% cd <kernel source tree>
2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure
Phase TWO: Create a portable kernel image .deb file
3% make-kpkg clean
4% $Get_Root make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
(Get_Root is whatever you need to become root -- fakeroot or
sudo are examples that come to mind).
Phase THREE: Install the kernel image on one or more machines
5# dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb
6# shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of
# booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
After the reboot (to be sure) you can build the alsa-modules with a
simple:
$ cd <kernel source tree>
$ make-kpkg modules_image
$ dpkg -i ../alsa-module-XXX.deb
That's it.
ciao
