intel i810 audio doesn't load on Dell 4550
I have a Dell 4550 with the i810 audio and this is detected properly by knoppix but apparently it fails to load. Here is the output of lspci -v and the relevant sections of dmesg on bootup:
------dmesg section-----

Please forward any ideas on what I can try to get this working.
thanks,

After a bit of hacking got it working
In case anyone else has this problem, these are the steps I have taken to get it working:
1) Got the 2.4.20 kernel from kernel.org
2) unpacked the kernel (tar xfvz) on another linux box
3) make menuconfig (and enabled modules in the kernel and select i810_audio as a module)
4) edit i810_audio.c file and remove the line #2677 containing "break" after the line that says "Primary codec not ready"
5) make dep
6) make modules
7) take the resulting i810_audio.o file now present in the drivers/sound directory and rename it to i810_audiotest.o and copy it to the /tmp directory of a running knoppix machine
in the /tmp directory as root type: insmod ac97_codec <enter> insmod i810_audiotest.o -f <enter>
Sound works now
