I load kernel modules at boot: smb.ko, smbus.ko, and ichsmb.ko. It's probably the last one you're missing, and I don't know how much forward into the ICH versions it supports. It is this last 'connector' module that has to match and support your hardware. It is also dependent upon device pci being present. I believe there exists a couple of modules like this one for other chipsets. If there is one that is supporting your south bridge load it instead. -MIke
