Yes, I use ALSA with devfs on kernel 2.4.2. I hope you've compiled
ALSA with support for your card and OSS emulation, and that it has
found the right path to your kernel 2.4.2 sources.
These are the lines I've added to /etc/devfs/devfsd.conf (path may be
different):
LOOKUP snd MODLOAD ACTION snd
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
I also had errors in the beginning before I realised there was no group
called audio, so make sure that's there.
Also, try modprobe snd-pcm-oss (and snd-mixer-oss) and then see if
/dev/audio, /dev/dsp etc are there.
Best of luck.. :-)
