Wouldn't be 2.6.21 on Lenny would it? I had trouble with my soundcard not 
showing up at boot *always*.

I typically roll my own kernel and install it with checkinstall though 
initially with Lenny I didn't and hance the problem. Removing OSS and 
compiling the module as a module, and not statically has my sound working on 
2.6.22.8 no problem, no manual modprobe/rmmod/alsaconf intervention on my 
part.
