Here is the result:
# ls /dev/dsp -l
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Nov 5 01:20 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp
So I have changed the link to dsp1: # ln -s sound/dsp1 /dev/dsp
# ls /dev/dsp -l
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Nov 5 07:10 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp1
but still no sound after reboot... I still have to do a "draksound" to get sound... like I said... weird!

Okay, so you have a dsp device and also a dsp1 device. Possible that dsp1 is
the SB16 and that dsp is the mainboard sound. So, do a ls -l /dev/dsp and if
the link is pointing to dsp, then you might want to relink it to dsp1 and
then see if you can hear sound. If you can, then we know that is what the
problem is and we just have to make sure that harddrake is not overwriting
the link to the device each time you are rebooting.
