OK, so you were using Alsa? Did you upgrade the alsa-modules, too?

/dev/dsp won't exist if you're running devfs or udev, and the driver isn't
loaded (or you haven't told them to create the device node automatically).

What happens when you modprobe i810_audio? The error message below makes me
think that you're missing a dependency. Either that, or you've loaded the
Alsa base modules, and you're trying to load an OSS module on top of them.
That won't work. Use the Alsa version of the 810 driver: snd-intel8x0.

Also, did you change from devfs to udev? And you're sure you're not mixing
Alsa and Oss modules?
