Kernel Compilation

[ace]

Well, I got my sound card working; it seems as though I needed to compile 
the emu10k1 driver.  I went back in and installed it as a module.  I still 
can't find the PC speaker option in make menuconfig (if anyone knows where 
it is, I'd like to know) but that's no big deal.  I didn't find it where 
Alex suggested.
