Compiling My Kernel -- still having trouble

I had to update my module_init.  Actually, I used to have
mod-tools-2.4.22 or something before and my module related stuff did
not work.  I don't know if modul-init existed before but I pulled it
down from slackware-current and then my module stuff worked
correctly.  As for ALSA, the 2.6.6 kernel appears to have 1.0.4rc2 of
the drivers and my original ALSA installation of drivers, libs, and
tools, is all 1.0.3.  I have just one snag with a warning about the
alsactl when restoring my settings.  I'll bet if I upgrade to 1.0.4rc2
of my libs and tools, that warning should go away.  I much prefer ALSA
to OSS, thank you.  The only disadvantage I could see with including
ALSA support with the kernel is every time the kernel is upgraded with
a new version of the drivers, one will have to match up the libs and
tools.  Seems that ALSA project always changes stuff too much to let
them get out of sync.
