I got a somewhat similar message a few days ago because i had
forgotten to uninstall the ac97_codec module.  I solved my proplem by
adding the following lines to /etc/discover-autoskip.conf

skip i810_audio
skip ac97_codec

What do you get when you write lsmod?

Do any of the files in /var/log directory mention the attempt to
include ALSA. What do they tell you?

                         Good luck
