I compiled the kernel as I always do:
cd /usr/include
rm -rf asm linux scsi
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi
cd /usr/src/linux
cp /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/.config.old
make mrproper
cp /usr/src/.config.old /usr/src/linux/.config
make oldconfig
make dep
make clean
make zlilo
make modules
make modules_install

Actually I have all this in a couple of scripts with some additional
error checking... but it guarantees consistency in the way my kernels
are compiled. I don't think this is a problem with the way I compiled
the kernel.

I also repeated the compile with the output redirected to a logfile,
(make zlilo > makelog 2>&1) and then grepped for "warning" and "error"
in the logfile as well as visually inspecting the logfile and there
were no warnings or errors). Recompiling the 2.0.27 kernel with the
same procedure results in a kernel that works fine, sound and all.

Thanks...
Michael
