First No Sound, No Load Errors....

Ok, so when i first compiled my kernel on my Sony Vaio laptop, i didn't have any sound. Everything loaded correctly i didn't get any errors, other than error opening /dev/mixer.

So i went about my business putting other needed applications on the laptop etc. Ok, so today i decided to try once again to get ALSA to work w/ my laptop. emerge -f ALSA didn't do anything, so i went ahead with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -f alsa After i got the time, i went ahead and installed it. I then went to my /usr/src folder to see the new linux-2.6.6-mm5 folder there. I removed my old symlink file with a rm /usr/src/linux, and replaced it with a ln -s linux-2.6.6-mm5 linux command. i then went into menuconfig and copied over my old file that i had saved as "2.6.6.config" and put it in the /usr/src/linux folder. Then i used the make command to compile the kernel. After that i went ahead and rebooted and upon reboot i was getting many module load errors that i was not getting on any previous boot. i was still intending to cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage boot/mm-2.6.6_rc3-r1 and finally cp /System.map /boot/System.map.

But alas, errors have foiled my plans for a simple evening. Anyone with help in fixing the errors will be my Hero.
