I have the same problem and followed your directions exactly.
I even upped my kernel from 2.2.20 to 2.4.18 and included the Intel
sound option into the kernel but having same problems.
On bootup I get the following message:
Sound Server Message: Error while starting driver: device /dev/dsp
can't be opened. (no such device).
I have done chmod 777 on /dev/dsp /dev/dsp1 2 and 3 added myself to
audio group. Here is my lsmod and lspci:

Can someone help? I really miss my music. :-(
Run "modconf" and see if there's a module available for the 82440MX.
You'll either need such a module loaded (lsmod shows only the ethernet
nic module loaded), or you'll need support for that chipset compiled
directly into the kernel (which would probably only be the case if
you've compiled your own kernel and included that support, which you
seem to indicate that you've done). If the kernel sources or modules
don't work properly, you may need to use an "outside" driver, such as
the alsa drivers. I had to do this for my onboard AC'97 chipset (via8233).

i did as you suggested. here is the output of my lspci and lsmod. i
logged in as root and did lsmod > lsmod.txt and lspci > lspci.txt.

as suggested by one of the group, i also installed libmikmod. i could
not install splayer - it requires some other .deb package and i am not
too sure how to install packages that do not reside on my cd!
anyway, is there a clue about what is wrong from my lsmod and lspci?
thanx - yet again
