(1st) Problem solved. Frans Ketelaars noted that I had two OSS/Free modules loaded (i810_audio and ac97_codec). He recommended removing them. I did that (with rmmod) and then was able to successfully load the snd-intel8x0. After that the install proceeded without a hitch. Thanks for the feedback Frans.
One add-on question: I can play sound through the built-in PC speaker now and control the volume using alsamixer. However, the system bell (beep) remains very faint and is not affected by the mixer settings. I need to be able to boost the level of this beep and would like to do so using the internal speaker. Does anyone know if/how this can be achieved? Note, using the xset command seems to have no affect on the bell volume either.
