Tried symlinks in the alsa source directory. No change.

linux/limit.h does not exist. As I am compiling off HEADERS, I would expect
that the rules would define this directory as something. Usually, it is a
symlink to source. I suppose I could set this up myself--easy enough.
BTW, I tried to do this off source as well but got the same error. I did not
have the symlink.

Actually, modules are being loaded but they may be coming from the older
kernel. Alsa starts but the mixer fails to save or restore.
/proc/asounc/cards has nothing.
Contrary to popular belief, this kernel does not
"come with" these
built in!
Last time I looked, it still did come with ALSA. Which doesn't mean
that it wasn't some obsolete version, so you might still want to
compile ALSA separately. So following the instructions in:
http://www.linuxorbit.com/
modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=541
&page=1 (compiling on kernel-headers), I attempted to compile. cpp fails
sanity check. I upgraded all the gcc stuff. Same.
Does this still happen if you simply run "./configure" in the
alsa-driver package? If yes, what does configure.log say about this?
