I'm now running testing, vmlinuz-2.6.22-3-sparc64-smp on the U60.
I installed alsa-utils and ran alsaconf, but didn't write to
/etc/modprobe.d/. With only snd-sun-cs4231 in /etc/modules, lsmod
looks like this:

snd_sun_cs4231 23568 0
snd_pcm_oss 52512 0
snd_mixer_oss 21056 1 snd_pcm_oss

snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 11408 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 14416 2 snd_sun_cs4231,snd_pcm
and ls -l /dev/dsp* like so:

Sound seems to be working well as before using aumix or alsamixer
and ogg123, mplayer, vlc, etc.
I've verified that the hardware's OK by installing Etch which worked once I'd
edited /etc/modules.
Running alsaconfig appeared to complete but didn't improve things- I tried
both without and with updates to modprobe.d.
Same kernel version here I think, the ISO's a few weeks old though-
20080128-23:54. Full upgrade to latest package versions doesn't improve
things, I've checked permissions etc. and don't see an obvious problem.
For the moment I'm reverting to Etch since I want this machine working- pain
though because of the way the kernel crashes when it sees a serial break. I'll
grab a clean Lenny ISO in a few days and at the very least will try to monitor
progress.
