Is that in fact the sound card that your mobo has on it?

/lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o:
init_module: No such device
This tells me that it is trying to install driver 'i810audio' (because snd config told it to) but that in fact there is no device that uses this driver.

insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o
failed <----of course it did
/lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o:
insmod sound-slot-0 failed
It fails to insmod (install module) because nothing can use it.

I would find out what sound card is installed on your board. Then, find out which driver it uses (hopefully there is a Linux driver for it) and install or use that one.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't have a sound card......the motherboard has onboard sound.......is that supported by debian/knoppix?
