I've booted with the "nodma" option (I guess that what you wanted me to 
do), and now here is the new output for "modprobe ali5451":

"hda: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
hda: drive not ready for command
ali mixer creating error.
Ali pci audio not found or device busy.
/lib/modules/2.4.19-18mdk/kernel/sound/pci/ali5451/snd-ali5451.o.gz: 
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
	You may find more information in syslog or on the output from dmesg
mosprobe: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.19-18mdk/kernel/sound/pci/ali5451/snd-ali5451.o.gz failed
modprobe: insmod snd-ali5451 failed"

After that, all my commands result in:
"hda: status timeout: status 8x80 { Busy }
hda: DMA disabled
hda: drive not ready for command"

I've also tried the same modprobe in single-user mode after a "hdparm 
-d0 /dev/hda", and no error message is displayed, but all my command 
result in the same error message as above.
