No audio No Internet after building the kernel
After building the kernel 2.4.20 I have no audio and I cant go on the internet....
AUDIO Problem:
When I start Linux its on runlevel i think 4 or 3 Iam not sure but I hear the bc beep If I press backspace in the command line if nothing is there. I havent tried playing audio in commandline so Iam not sure if that would work.
When I startx I get "Sound server information message message Error while initialinizing the sound driver device /dev/dsp cant be opened (no such device) The sound server will continue using the null output device"
I checked /dev and there was a file called dsp so I changed the persmissions on it so everyone can use it but that didnt work either.
I went here http://www.ali.com.tw/eng/support/faq_linux_os_faqs.htm the audio I have is AC97 M1647 and the website dosent have any Linux drivers for it but it said what to enable on the kerenl configuration and I did but still dosent work. The website also said to go here ALi Audio Linux Driver
HOW-TO: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/
but I didnt find the Linux driver maybe its there I just cant find it.
INTERNET Problem:
I have verizon ADSL before building the kernel I used to acess the internet by using http://roaringpenguin.com/ I had no problems.
After building the kernel I get this error when typing in adsl-start (which is the command that connects me to the internet) "..........TIMED OUT /usr/sbin/adsl/ start:line 194 411 terminated $connect "$@">dev/null 2>&1
Maybe I didnt include something in the kernel configuration I have a westell modem provided by Verizon and a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC its location is PCI slot 5
and thats it ohh and by the way the reason I built the kerenl was to learn about the Linux operating system not that I was unhappy with my last configuration. And now Iam stuck and need help thanks.

Was you last kernel one that came with your distribution? Is this the first kernel that you compiled? Which distribution are you using?

Iam using Slackware 9 and the kernel it came with was version 2.4.20 but there wasnt a /usr/src/linux directory I had to download a kernel from kernel.org I extracted it in /usr/src then I made a linux directory in /usr/src which I linked to kernel-2.4.20.
Yes this is my first time building a kernel. Iam actually reading a book about Linux its called running Linux by O'Reily. Its a great book but Iam stuck on this part like I its not that I was unhappy with the original kernel source its just that I did this for the learning experiance which is why I didnt download the newest stable kernel which I belivev is 2.4.22. I latered wanted to download the kernel patches so I can learn how to do all these wonderful things in Linux.
