Yes, the ALSA module loads without problems. I can't verify whether installing the alsa-* packages blacklists the i810_audio driver, because I no longer have the laptop with me. In any event, I kept the manual blacklist entries in place, because I don't ever want the user to come back to me saying "the laptop doesn't boot, or respond to ctrl-alt-del, and by the way it says something about Oops and a lot of numbers on the screen". (He may have to bring it back to me today, depending on whether I got the PPPOE configuration right on the first try. I won't know until later.) > [1] http://bugs.debian.org/287344 (hp pavilion ze4900) Same as mine, except that I fumbled around more than he did. > [2] http://bugs.debian.org/277691 (laptop Dell D600) Definitely milder symptoms.

Hmm. I don't know whether this is a difference between pre-rc2 and whichever installer you used, or a difference caused by the presence of a "winmodem". > It looks like this could be a kernel driver bug.
