you need to follow strictly the wiki page, step by step:

1) build ALL the thingies (included skypopen.ko oss driver kernel module) -
without errors
2) run the install.pl script
3) run the startup script created by the install.pl script

the /boot directory has nothing to do with it, leave it alone.

your alsa install will probably create the /dev/dsp each reboot. So, you
need to run the startup script that will be created by the install script
after each reboot and before FreeSWITCH.

Please follow strictly step by step, or know exactly what you are doing ;) :

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Skypopen#SHORT_BLUEPRINT:_STEPS_NEEDED_TO_USE_SKYPOPEN

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Skypopen#Linux

at this last link, read the entire Linux subsection, at least until the
"windows" subsection begins, and you'll find peace and joy!
