My 2.4.31 kernel is not compiled to use i810_audio.o but it does insert 
ac97_codec.o (used oligatorily after gameport, before sblive or es1371, 
among others).  The 2.4.31 kernels will boot with mem=256M but the 2.2.X 
kernels need mem=255M in computers with disabled onboard video set to use 
1MB onboard RAM.  Neither HP nor IBM detected the RAM without this switch 
(they found 64MB).

I downloaded SW7.1 and 'big' 2.2.26 modules.  My sound kernel is not 
compiled to accept i810_audio and it did not insert.

I tried the 2.2.26 'big' kernel with BL2 and BL3, assuming that if Steven 
posted the modules they would insert.  They would not insert.

'Can't handle sections of type 11 [or 1685024046].  Invalid argument'

Was the big kernel compiled to accept these modules?  They are in the 
online collection but I don't see them in config.big and I don't have help 
files for this kernel.

David or Steven, can you insert ac97_codec.o in the big kernel?

My SW7.1 sound kernel does not include i810 so that might be why it did 
not work.

2.4.31 Configure.help has an i810.o for graphics but no mention of i810 
audio or AD1885.  How do I compile for it?

DVD sound does not appear to need a cable to the sound card to play DVDs, 
unlike music CDs.
