During setup you can select the HAL to be used. See this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;216251

Select "Standard PC".

You will lose some power management functionality, but it should work.
I had to use this method on an ABIT BE6-II board which was 815 based.

Good luck.
