Loading i810 module seems to fail during boot, but loads fine manually

I have a i810e motherboard, PIII/866MHz/320MB, single 120 GB IDE udma4 disk, a
CD-RW and an SMC 10/100 NIC. I am using the onboard audio and video.
I am running a stock debian kernel:
Linux kiyone 2.6.2-1-686 #1 Sat Feb 7 13:49:20 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
My basic problem is that I can't get the "i810" module to stay loaded through
a reboot, which leads to it not being loaded before X starts. Everything
seems to run OK without i810, but it seems to me that I ought to load it
since it seems like it would be an important thing...
During boot, dmesg shows:
[drm:drm_init] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module.
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel i810 E Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 261M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000
This is particularly confusing since the errors seem to indicate that agpgart
is both fails and suceeds at initialization.
Later, after I get logged in as root, I can do a "modprobe i810" and the
following gets appended to the dmesg output:
[drm] Initialized i810 1.4.0 20030605 on minor 0
So, it seems like i810 is dependant on something that isn't loaded yet. I
don't know how to find out what that might be
After successfully modprobing, when I look at my loaded modules, I don't see
that i810 is used by anything:
kiyone:/etc# lsmod | grep i810
i810 70092 0
So, my troubleshooting has run out of things to look at...
