wait ...
i'll post everything from the first step to the last step , following the manual i gave
so you shouldn't be quessing what the problem is, cause all the info is here ...
downloaded :
alsa-driver-1.0.6a.tar.bz2
alsa-lib-1.0.6.tar.bz2
alsa-utils-1.0.6
kernel-source-2.4.27_2.4.27.orig.tar.gz
first i extract the kernel tar to ~/kernel-source-2.4.27-2.4.27
next i cd to that folder and "make" (said 'y' to all choices given)
after that "install make"
i'm sure there is an easier way, like installing a .deb package of the source, but for some reason, that didn't work
as said in manual, created alsa map untarred etc ...
see first 20 lines ...
when you see "ablablabalbalablabalabalbalba" , that means i cut out a huge part of printed messenges that made this post too long .....

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

something went wrong with alsa-lib but upgrades these with apt-get ...
now after all these steps : i can't modprobe the modules .. see earlier post : exact same result ... (2nd attempt though)
weird thing is : can't even use alsamixer
Code:
steven:~# alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
...
