IFAIK the i810_audio module should be the correct OSS module for your hardware. I've seen other reports mentioning the same sort of problem [1,2,3]. [1] has the exact same boot messages as you. The submitter for [3] mentioned the problem solved itself (I would guess after installing the alsa packages); he was able to remove the blacklisting of the module he added himself. [3] has different audio hardware though. The dump probably happens because the OSS (i810_audio) audio driver does not like something about your hardware. I think you will have more luck with the ALSA (snd_intel8x0) modules. I would think this problem should be solved after you install the alsa packages as IIRC they include blacklisting for the OSS modules. Can you confirm if this is correct?
