I get the same error everytime I recompile a kernel, it's nothing unusual, it is because the alsa driver and devices no longer exist because after recompiling the kernel you have to rebuild the modules (video, audio, net whatever). The simplest solution is to download the latest alsa (1.0.0rc2 I think) and install it, and don't forget to run the command ./snddevices to add the necesary sound devices to /dev.
