I have the 2.2.14 from Mandrake kernel version. To buid a new kernel with
version 2.4.7, I will need a bit of time.

When I recompiled my kernel I used 'make menuconfig' and only changed the
sound support section. Here I selected 'Sound card support', 'OSS sound
modules', 'VIA82c686 codec'. By selected I mean option 'Y' not option 'M'
as I wanted to install sound in the kernel and not as a module. Having said
all this I am now using my old linux kernel so sound is modular again.
