Most newer sound cards use the alsa sound system, and it won't install without kernel source. In addition, the kernel source on the download site does not match the binaries.

"In addition, the kernel source on the download site does not match the binaries." Yes it does. It's the exact source I fed to our build system. "Nor does it compile" If you use the same config options we used to generate our kernels, it compiles just fine. We cannot test every possible combination of options. For this reason, user-compiled kernels are unsupported.
You're right. Your web site was taking me to "updates" rather than the base release. I'll file separate kernel bugs related to ACPI and ide-probe module compilation problems if current kernels have the same problems 2174 does.
