It sounds like you have framebuffer console enabled but driving your

Did you compile it as a module? Did you make and install the modules?
/usr/src/linux# make modules modules_install
Did you load the module?
# depmod -a
# modprobe emu10k1

snd-emu10k1 is ALSA. Are you trying to use the OSS driver ("emu10k1") or
ALSA ("snd-emu10k1", and other supporting ALSA snd-* drivers).
