Ok, Xeno get some rest. You've earned it. Here are some things to try.
1. Reboot and see what the boot up messages are regarding alsa. If it
scrolls by to fast you can see them by typing dmesg at the command line.
Is alsa installing correctly? I would guess not based on the unresolved
symbols msgs you are getting when you run alsaconf.
2. Assuming the worst, i.e. alsa is not installed correctly then get
ready for some fun. In my experience the unresolved symbols msgs result
from the alsa module being out of synch with the kernel you are using.
Even the tiniest change of the kernel will have this effect. I got it
when I went from 2.6.8-15 to 2.6.8-16 (or something like that). You have
to compile the alsa-driver package yourself. But why oh why oh why are
you using the 2.4 kernel? To spare yourself a lot of grief why not just
upgrade your kernel to 2.6.8 (see the list archives for how to do this -
but IT IS EASY - far easier than sticking with your 2.4 kernel) and it
will work.
3. If you really want to go ahead with your 2.4 kernel let us know and
I'll carry on with instructions. When you get up tomorrow you might want
to look at this:

Cheers,
