The other option is that you could try going through the manual install 
again. This time run some checks before hand to make sure things are not 
going to conflict.

First find out where exactly mandrake has put the alsa modules. Then 
remove them. Now make sure you have a /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel

If you do then install the alsa packages

And do a rmmod alsa-modules

modprobe snd-card; modprobe snd-mixer-oss,modprobe snd-pcm-oss; modprobe 
snd-seq-oss

Now you definitely know that other modules can't be conflicting. If the 
sound is okay after doing this then next time you reboot you will know 
if it is boot scripts that are causing you alsa troubles or not. Then if 
they do just take out the offending lines.

Although I've had no troubles for a while by just ignoring them until I 
find out what they mean :)

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
