I have a similar setup working well. If it helps, create a file alsa
under /etc/modprobe.d with the following lines:

  alias char-major-116 snd
  alias char-major-14 soundcore

  options snd major=116 cards_limit=4

  alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
  alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
  alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
  alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
  alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
  alias /dev/dsp* snd-pcm-oss

  alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

  alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0
  alias sound-slot-0 snd-slot-0

Run update-modules, and then /etc/init.d/alsa start. That should get alsa
working.

I am sure a file with above lines will be under /etc/modutils. For 2.6,
it should be under /etc/modprobe.d. On my system, the above file is
under /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9. I have it symlinked from both modutils and
modprobe.d. Booting to either 2.4 or 2.6 brings up alsa easily.
