OK, I tried this with the Intel STL2 motherboard I also have and I got
a similar error when trying to load the correct i2c bus module when the
PnPBIOS stuff is compiled into the kernel.

modprobe i2c-piix4
/lib/modules/2.4.10-ac12pnp/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-piix4.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.10-ac12pnp/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-piix4.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.10-ac12pnp/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-piix4.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.10-ac12pnp/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-piix4.o: insmod i2c-piix4 failed

dmesg

i2c-piix4.o version 2.6.1 (20010830)
i2c-piix4.o: Found OSB4 device
i2c-piix4.o: SMB region 0x580 already in use!
i2c-piix4.o: Device not detected, module not inserted.

cat /proc/ioports

6000-60ff : Adaptec 7899P (#2)
fe00-fe3f : PnPBIOS PNP0c02

So this is a problem on more than just those old Intel Lancewood L440GX
motherboards. The STL2 is a fairly recent dual processor motherboard
