No, I didn't. I didn't know about /boot. But yes - there is a=20
"config-2.4.20-8d" there. On the other hand, it is identical
to the /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs/kernel-2.4.20-ppc.config
already suggested.

So I made "bzImage" without changing anything. No errors. But
the resulting 'vmlinux' is not identical to the 'vmlinux-2.4.20-8d'
in /boot. For one thing, it's about 16Kbytes larger. What is going on?

Another thing - if I do "xconfig" and don't change anything, just save
and exit, the resulting .config is different from the .config.old file.
And there is an error message:

ERROR - Attempting to write value for unconfigured variable
(CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE).

Again, what is going on?=20


In any case, I wish I knew whether ALSA can, in fact, be used with a
PowerPC.
