I tried inserting these lines, and I no longer get this error message when loading.... but although the drivers seem to load, they don't print the IRQs like when they load individually. On trying to run alsamixer, I get an error stating

function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

I assume this means they didn't load correctly?

The reason i'm using such an old version is that i'm using the newest version that I could find that matches the newest stock debian kernel image (2.4.16). I'm quite new to this game, and am a bit uneasy with the thought of having to recompile the kernel. It seems likely that it could be because i'm running devfs doesn't it?

In addition to the snd-card-x aliases, you should use the drivers'
index option:

  options snd-card-ens1370 index=0
  options snd-card-ymfpci index=1

And if your card drivers are named snd-card-xxx, you have a really old
version of ALSA. Please consider updating.
