Or install ALSA. I think you can do that with make-kpkg on a standard potato 
install without too much trouble.

I'm using 2.4.16, the low latency patch and ALSA 0.9, and a collection
of back-packaged debs to make 2.4 work with potato. It all works fine
but I use my Sterolink as the primary soundcard these days.

Hm. I _have_ been getting the occasional spontaneous reboot, but I've assumed 
that was more likely to be hardware. What are the symptoms with respect to 
binutils?
