:-)

Although a subject of linux-kernel-3.0 and alsa might help (many of us
only download headers).

Of no particular relevance - what kernel is that? (did you build it
yourself?).

Unless you had apt-get autoclean enabled, the packages should be still
sitting in /var/cache/apt/archives.

Do you mean "apt-get install something" without pulling in "recommended"??

What is your system architecture?
$ uname -r
will probably tell me what you need.

Is this a dedicated audio production machine?
Are you running rtirq etc?

# apt-get --no-install-recommends
linux-image-3.0.0-1-whatever_your_architecture

I'd suggest you run this first:-
# apt-get -s --no-install-recommends
linux-image-3.0.0-1-whatever_your_architecture >
/root/kernel-3.0.0.0-1_upgrade

That will give you a list of changes for future reference.

Ralf Mardorf will surely have an opinion but he won't be back online
until later this today (at earliest).

Cheers
