Probably nothing if you included support for your sound card in your kernel. Does sound work? If so then just ignore the messages - it's because in your last kernel the sound drivers were loaded as modules and in this kernel either you've not built the modules (because you've forgotten to) or you've not built the drivers as modules but straight into the kernel.

My sound dont work.. and i use the same .conf of my last kernel, i installed the package of alsa driver - 2.6.10 and dont work
Alsa is part of the 2.6 kernel, you don't need external stuff (AFAIK). Go back to the kernel source directory, do make gconfig and find the necessary drivers for your card. Also remember to enable ALSA if it isn't already then recompile your kernel. Actually, did you remember to do make modules and make modules_install?

Wathever, this problem is solved.. i recompiled the kernel, the sound support as modules, then i compiled the alsa libs, utils & drivers.. thanks anyway
