All of them.  (Well, at least all of the *current* ones -- I don't know
about the ancient ones and /etc/modules.)

The important thing is that your kernel has to have been built with
the emu10k1 driver configured as a module.  And since emu10k1 was only
introduced in kernel 2.2.18 or so, that means you *might* have to upgrade
your kernel if you're using one of the original versions of potato.

(Or you could build the emu10k1 module separately, after acquiring the
source from <http://opensource.creative.com/>.)

I've heard that emu10k1 has had a history of breaking in 2.4.x kernels.
Then again, 2.4.x kernels are ALL broken right now, every last one of
them, with respect to the new binutils.  Not to mention the turkeys
(like 2.4.15, which corrupts your file systems on umount).  So much for
that "stable" label Linus slapped on 2.4.

So if you wondered why my headers say "Linux 2.2.20", that's why.
