    Hey,

    I need to compile the kernel as i havnt been able to get the sound card
    working on my laptop.

    The laptop is a omnibook 4150A, the B version is supported quite well
    from what i have seen on the internet, but i havnt had much luck with
    this laptop on anything other than mandrake, so i am assuming that if i
    recompile the kernel i can add in what ever mandrake used for my sound card.

    from a few sites they say its a CS4282 but everything i have tried so
    far hasnt worked so i am hopping this compile will sort it :)

    I wont include the desktop hardware i was just curious as it's using the
    desktop to compile so i thought it might be needed :)

    Thanks.
    Grant.
