Thanks for answering so quickly! i did everything yuo said and for compiling vmlinux i had no problems... For sound , instead i am still having troubles, infact i wasn't able to select those few sound options in the kernel conf..., even doing make menuconfig. Ah i tried also make config, but nothing changed. i send the .config file, in attachment if you mind to take a look at it! Thanks a lot ! Dario P.s. i need HELP also because my colleague using RH is annoying me, considered that sound is working on his machine : ( BTW DEBIAN rules
