Now that you mention it, the linking problem with sound devices is as 
far as I got with my troubleshooting.  I read that devfs is the cause 
and that it was suggested that it be disabled via lilo.conf.  Last I 
remember, this had no effect but probably because I didn't know what the 
right links for sound devices were supposed to be.  I also noticed that 
/dev/snd was a bad link.  I'll give this a go when I get home tonight.
