This is an X module, not a kernel module, so no, you did not miss 
loading this module. I can't explain why XF86Config-4 would expect to 
find an i810 module if that module is not on your system, unless you 
copied the XF86Config-4 file from elsewhere rather than letting the 
normal installation process create it.

For right now, I'd suggest running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" 
and changing i810 to VESA. Once that provides you with a GUI, you can 
then track down the problem with the i810 module. (This assumes you have 
not modified the XF86Config-4 file by hand.)
