Thanks, Marcus.
I already moved forward and got a bit better result. Anyway, here is a
description of the first attempt:
1)Unpack the linux-2.0.33 into the /usr/local/src directory
(linux directory created)
2)Unpack ossfree38s6-linux20x.tar.gz into the same directory.
(also goes into linux/)
3)Unpack awedrv-0.4.2d.tgz (awe-0.4.2d directory created).
4) As recommended, run make menuconfig and exit.
5) In awe-0.4.2d/, run sh ./install.sh, tell it about my
/usr/local/src/linux seems to be run OK.
6) Again make menuconfig. Here is my .config file:

"isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf" runs OK.
"modprobe -a sound" locks the machine.

Here is another story:
Using debian kernel-source-2.0.32 and awe-drv 0.3.3c, the only thing I
try to do is to change to /usr/src/awedrv/ and run "sh ./install.sh".
It gives me error message: (just for the record, I'm using patch 2.5)
Linux source root directory [/usr/src/linux]
checking the version of installed sound driver..
sound driver is OSS/Free-3.5.0 (aka USS/Lite)
applying a patch to lowlevel directory
patching file `Makefile'
Hunk #1 succeeded at 101 with fuzz 2 (offset 95 lines).
can't find file to patch at input line 17
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|*** drivers/sound/lowlevel/init.c.old Tue May 28 23:45:17 1996
|--- drivers/sound/lowlevel/init.c Wed Oct 30 21:02:02 1996
--------------------------
File to patch:
So, I edit install.sh and change patch -d ... < ...
to patch -d ... -p0 < ...
After that sh ./install.sh runs fine. "make menuconfig" produces the
following: (now only sound part, the rest is the same as before)

After recompiling, installing, and rebooting, "modprobe -a sound"
does NOT lock the machine, but gives me no message at all.
(modprobe -a sound trace_init=1 is ALSO silent).
cat /dev/sndstat gives:
