no sound

I have a feeling the i801 chipset support would help you.

I'm running the ICH6 at work and the ICH* support is done by I believe
the i801 chipset support.
When compiling the kernel, it details it.  I'm running 2.6.12.5 and
it's under "Device Drivers" -> "Sound" somewhere.
I'm obviously not at work now :)

BTW, if your not getting anything with a cat /proc/pci, the (legacy)
proc filesystem support is not compiled into the kernel.  At any rate,
lspci is all you really need.

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so
many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -
because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too
cowardly to exercise it.  The virtues which cloak these faults are
called patience and forbearance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
