if you are recompiling the default suse kernel, the modules_install part of the make process cleans out the old modules before installing the new ones. you need to re-install the alsa drivers either by downloading the drivers as above, or re-installing the rpm that comes with suse.
To avoid that, just edit the Makefile, and add something to "extraversion". Thus, your compiled module tree will go to something like "/lib/modules/2.4.19_CER-4GB/" instead of the default "/lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/", for example. Also, you need to adjust grub or lilo accordingly.
that would pretty much take hime the same path as installing an all new kernel. either way, he would have to re-install the alsa driver modules. -- trey
