Can I use Knoppix to add and/or remove a kernel module of an EXISTING (installed) Kernel?

If yes, how?

For background, I am installing Sarge (debian stable) on an HP laptop. The debian installer installs the "wrong" sound module during the first stage of the installation. This blocks the installed kernel from booting to complete the second stage of the installation.

Basically, it is a known bug, which has not been corrected.
See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=298623

Presumably, the problem is caused by a sound module: i810_audio.ko . The workaround is to install the ALSA (snd_intel8x0) module ((which would among other things 'blacklist' the OSS modules).

Sounds simple enough... until one tries to do it. The problem is that the bug strikes in the boot up after stage 1, before stage2 even starts. So, the options are quite limited.

I have already tried a number of things, going through "expert" installation, trying to use the debian installer as a rescue CD, getting into a console, etc. But nothing has worked. So, perhaps Knoppix may allow me to add and/or substract the appropiate kernel modules.

Thanks in advance.
