You must have the kernel-source .rpm package installed that corresponds to
the kernel you're running.

Ah, let's see:
1) install the kernel-source rpm for the kernel you're running.
2) make sure that it's linked as /usr/src/linux, or tell the
alsa-driver configure where it is.
3) copy the appropriate /usr/src/linux/configs/kernel-*.config
into /usr/src/linux/.config,
one of my machines uses kernel-2.4.9-i686.config, but
the other needs kernel-2.4.9-i686-smp.config
4) make sure that /usr/src/linux/Makefile specifies the correct
EXTRAVERSION to find your /lib/modules/,
it says -21custom by default for 2.4.9-21, but it needs to
say just -21 to use the installed kernel.
That should do it, now configure alsa-driver, make, and install.
