I've just rebuilt my kernel to include USB support and now my sound card has stopped working. I've searched for the error message on the web but haven't come up with anything much.
I wasn't aware that I'd changed anything other than the USB settings (I used 'make menuconfig').
Cracked it!! A case of RTFM I'm afraid to say. In the config I'd configured the kernel to generate the drivers for my sound card and OSS - wrong!!. The ALSA documentation does say very clearly that you should specifiy sound support but NOT select any devices or OSS.
I took them out and re-genned the kernel and it all burst back to life! Oh well, at least I've upgraded to the latest NVidia and ALSA releases.
Interesting side issue, the NVidia docs say that you have to do a make install every time you rebuild the kernel or it won't work. I could've sworn I'd rebuilt a kernel without doing this and had no problems.
