First of all, in the 2.6 kernel the default sound system has changed
from OSS to ALSA. OSS is still supported, but ALSA is supposed to be
better. Then, you also need the module-init-tools package, plus maybe a
few others. The best you can do is google a little for "upgrade kernel
2.4 2.6".

A first suggestion (might not work): perhaps snd-opl3sa2 depends on
another module, which isn't loaded. Did you do a "depmod -a" after
installing the new kernel ?
The second suggestion: try the upgrade system of your distribution to
get to kernel 2.6. Once you have the system running, you can customize
the kernel as you wish.
