    This morning I installed via wajig what should have been a routine
    kernel-image upgrade from 2.6.8-15 to 2.6.8-16. Of course alsa is now
    toast. Ok I've been here before, no need to bother debian.user over this.
    FATAL: Error inserting snd_pcm
    (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.ko): Unknown symbol
    in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
    WARNING: Error running install command for snd_pcm
    etc.
    ~ This happens every time. Arrgghh!!! I CVS'd that latest version of alsa
    to recompile the module so that it would harmonise with the latest
    kernel-image. The configure part goes ok and then I run make and get:
    /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/build modules
    make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/source: No such file or directory. Stop.
    make: *** [compile] Error 2

    I'm sure I've had this problem before. googling does not provide any
    obvious answer. Anyway, I have a /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386 folder but the
    source source file in it has a link to somebody named Horms. I obviously
    have to link /lib/modules/source somewhere but where?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan
