Once your kernel source is set up, you can easily compile modules against it. The easiest way is to get the debian source packages through apt.
apt-get install alsa-source nvidia-kernel-source i2c-source etc ...
These tarballs will appear in /usr/src/. When they are extracted they will be in /usr/src/modules.
Then:-
cd /usr/src/linux
make-kpkg modules_image
This will look for all source packages in the modules directory and build them against your kernel creating .deb packages for your convinience.

Kelmo, I think I "kinda" understnad...
Say I did the:
apt-get install alsa-source nvidia-kernel-source i2c-source
cd /usr/src/linux
make-kpkg modules_image
... but I already have the nvidia-kernel-source from the "initial guide" here, so that can be removed from the apt-get install
I would add those .deb packages that I created above, in the steps - looking at the "initial" posting here to get NVidia into the kernel, either just before, or just after the following step:
...
dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.6.6_1.0.5336-6_i386.deb
...
and then continue with the rest of the "initial" Guide here...
Right? ( am I getting it now? Is a large 500 watt light bulb going on over my head? )

Sorry for the delay, I was at a summer cottage -> no computer/internet
You don't have to recompile your kernel as long as you have alsa module support compiled in it.
So compiling alsa etc. will make modules that match your current nvidia kernel and you can just install them with dpkg -i. If I understood you correctly you already went through with the howto, so you can just make and install the modules and be done. Well, you might want to run alsaconf and -mixer but with the kernel you should be done.
EDIT: As often I forgot the question
You can install the kernel and alsa and whatnot modules in one go as in: dpkg -i kernel.......deb alsa........deb

I just installed nvidia new driver (Version: 1.0-6106), but this time I used a different approach. The procedure:
1) To create kernel header
su
cd /usr/src
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kerne...-2.6.6.tar.bz2
cp linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2 /usr/src
tar jxvf linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2
rm -f linux
ln -s linux-2.6.6 linux
cp /boot/config-2.6.6 linux/.config
cd linux/include
ln -s asm-i386 asm
cd ..
make oldconfig
patch -p1 <../knoppix-kernel26.patch
cd /usr/bin
rm -f gcc
ln -s gcc-2.95 gcc
cd /usr/src
make
(You can skip above procedure if you already done it before. I believe you should uninstall previous NVIDIA driver.)
2) Download NVIDIA installer
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...ings" utility.

For people who already compile the kernel , you might want to run
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 before running sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run

After you have compiled the Kernel, how to you set the system to use it ?
Also what can be deleted now its all done ? as in dir's/files created.

For people that has NVIDIA driver up and running, you can just run command :
nvidia-installer --update to update your driver to latest version.
And for Slay3 r, just follow my instruction, then restartx, you will be
okay. You don't need to delete anything because you might want to use that compile kernel/header later on. You can delete all those tar .bz2 if you like.

in lower case
only way it would work for me is in upercaes

in fact im using lates nvidia
only catch dont seem to see the specific driver for my 5700LE
so im using vanilla but works great anyhow
