Post 1997 - yes (funny that)
AC is just Intel's "standard" (v1 - current v2.3) - many chips provide
it. They can often be disabled in the BIOS and/or IRQs and channels
changed - many PII boards also have ACPI "quirks" that make careful BIOS
configuration a requirement, enabling PlugNPray is usually required. The
OP has mentioned a 30GB drive being supported - so it's a not a stone
age pre-LBA BIOS.

I 'suspect' alsa is only possible post-install, but I'd have to read all
the d-i documentation to be certain...
Maybe the modules list can tell you?
