it seemed to work as before...

(so maybe that wasn't what you were saying at all ;-)

Real men

heeeey.... ;-)

don't have the time to do `make mrproper' and `make menuconfig' every
time the kernel changed,

true enough - although for those of us using rsync (even when doing your cp
-rl method for maintaining trees) it often takes less time than figuring out
which changes to options depend on which *when the version changes*.

(and, OK, I don't often hand-edit .config - but every now and then ;-)....

so they rely on `make oldconfig' and `make dep'
instead...

vi Makefile, change EXTRAVERSION to append -ids (my usual kinda practice)...

make oldconfig dep vmlinux modules

 - builds dmasound_core & dmasound_awacs

make_install creates a new /lib/modules/2.4.0-test13-pre3-ids and the
modules appear to be installed...

so... it seems to work for me.

Sorry Michel, no clue...

IIRC there was, about 8 months ago, a problem with modversions.h
dependencies in the dmasound driver...  it doesn't seem to be there in the
set of code I just pulled.

so... am I still missing the problem?
