Typo, my fault there are both i830 and i810 module.

It's the module powering your graphics card, as already written.

The solution to fix the problem is, as written to update your
buggy old kernel running on your EOL distro. It wouldn't surprise
me if you hadn't installed a single patch, Update all available
packages including kernel still available from rh, in addition a
few more recent patches can be found (http://fedoralegacy.org/)?

Next you need to plan on upgrading to a version with patches
available (www.distrowatch.com).

Good luck
