Actually since I sent my question I startted from fresh - got the kernel source package installed (turned out that RH changed the package name yet again) and even got Alsa 1.0.10rc2 to compile and install. The problem I'm facing now is that insmod complains about some "Wrong module format" (paraphrased, I'm writing from home now). I found many refferences to this error which explain that my modules package is too old - but as far as I can tell I have the latest one for RHEL 4.
