Can't open /dev/dsp
A previous post directed me to 7.4.4 in the LFS book, and I created
/etc/modprobe.conf with the suggested install command. No change.
Then I read the earlier bits in 7.4.2, which appear to suggest that with
udev the /etc/modprobe.conf file isn't read, and that required modules
should be listed in /etc/sysconfig/modules. So I added snd-pcm and
snd-pcm-oss to /etc/sysconfig/modules. This gives rise to a boot-time
message saying that snd-pcm-oss doesn't exist.
I'm a bit stuck now, partly I suspect because I have a rather shallow
understanding of kernel modules. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

You need to enable OSS support in the kernel. Specifically, enable OSS
emulation in the ALSA section. This will allow for the creation of /dev/dsp.
