I think Mandrake has rescue disk images also. Just `dd` it onto a floppy.

First why don't you try the sound drivers in the kernel instead of alsa.
I think this is the one you need:

CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX:
Say Y here to include support for the audio codec found on VIA
82Cxxx-based chips. Typically these are built into a motherboard. DO
NOT select Sound Blaster or Adlib with this driver, unless you have
a Sound Blaster or Adlib card in addition to your VIA audio chip.

sb is for soundblaster. Obviously you don't have that.
Just compile&install the via sound driver and `modprobe` it. Forget soundconfig.
