This is my first dalliance with the 2.4 series kernels (and my first
binary kernel install in a while), so please forgive (and correct) any
misconceptions:

1) The /usr/sbin/detectloader script doesn't seem to work.  In a cursory
examination of it, it appears that it should print either LILO or GRUB.
With GRUB installed (whether on the /boot partition (/dev/hda1) or on
the MBR) it prints nothing.  I have initscripts-5.27-8mdk and
perl-5.600-11mdk

2) The modules are scrambled. 
/lib/modules/2.4.0-0.12mdk/{block,cdrom,fs,ipv4,misc,net,scsi,video}
are all empty.  The modules that should be there are a subtree named
kernel.  There is also a symlink build that seems to point to titi's RPM
build directory.

This made the generation of an initrd problematic because mkinitrd
cannot find the modules.  Adding /kernel/fs to the end of the kernel
name allowed generation of the image.

3) ALSA header files are in the modules directory as well (under
2.4.0-0.12mdk/include/linux)  I don't think anything is going to look
for them there :p
