Mandrake Control Center cannot detect the SiS 735 chipset onboard sound on
the ECS K7S5A motherboard. The installer tries to load i810 module, which is
a good guess, but installation of this module fails on this hardware without
a kernel patch, two of which can be found on google.Others have posted that
the AC'97 module in ALSA may work with this hardware. On my whish list would
be tweaking harddrake (or perhaps simply patching the i810 driver which it
already attempts to load)to load drivers for this very nice,  cheap widely
used motherboard. Except for sound everything else on RC1 works with this
mb.
