Compiling My Kernel -- still having trouble

[nick G]

Builtin.  Hah! I've got Alsa problems in my Fedora.  I upgraded Alsa 1.0.3
to 1.0.5 and it still doesn't work.  Granted I have a TB card with a CS4630
chipset, but all the same...It should work.   Bottom line, They should've
stuck with Oss.
Thanks,
Nick
