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.
Yes, but just once, and never again: the idea is to have two modules trees, one for the original Suse kernel, and another one for your modified kernel. Your own will not overwrite nor delete the original. And, I think, the kernel may be able to load the original if not included on yours. Another thing, is that modules from different packages, like sound, could be moved to ../misc instead of ../kernel, and then they are not overwritten. I did that once. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
