Apparently so does the HP Pavilion with the same onboard Intel video (in 
Intel 810 chip) and now the SiS 7012 Audio also uses i810_audio.o.  Elite 
Computer Systems, a Socket A Athlon.  I have been putting in ESS Solo1 
(poor sound), SBLive (no OPL3 or AWE32 support without ALSA), ES1370 and 
ES1371 to replace onboard sound because the newer boards have only 0 or 1 
ISA slots.

We have three more onboard sounds to check out.

soundcore and sound inserted, ac97_codec and i810_audio refused:

Could someone please check if this inserts for them with 2.2.26?
If it does not, would recompiling the 'big' kernel fix it?

And how would I compile for 2.4.31?
I don't see any mention of i810 audio, just video.
