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. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
