Well, I got it fixed. It turns out that Kenny and David were right, the alsa components do NOT get recompiled when my 2.4.26 kernel is recompiled, and that is what was necessary. What I did was throw away the Slackware attempt to integrate alsa into the kernel, and revert to the "separate but equal" strategy of first recompiling the kernel, then booting into the new system, and only then compiling and installing the alsa modules and libraries. One more reboot and and now the new alsa drivers work fine in the presence of 1280 MB of ram recognized by the 2.4.26 kernel. Hooray for our side! Thanks, guys.
