Hello everyone. I have been trying to compile the newest benh-2.4 kernel (25 I
think). Everything seems to go fine until the very end when I get this error:

Debian a good 20 times by now, but still haven't gotten things ironed out.

Well, ypu're probably right that this is my problem. Neither command came up

I had alsa working on my system, but the volume was extremely soft (I only

Great, mol is up and running, however, I still have some issue where the
