B/C of the soundcard issue, I am still recompiling my kernel, rebooting my machine, and seeing if it's recognized. When I am compiling ENIGMA (make depend, make, make install), and have problems, I immediately do a make depend, make, make install of the GENERIC kernel, fix the ENIGMA kernel as needed, and then recompile ENIGMA. Then I reboot. Basically, I want to be able to still refer to my GENERIC kernel upon bootup in case ENIGMA doesn't boot. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
