Yes, I'm sure I'm using 3.2.2, at least when I type gcc -v, thats what it returns and that is the string that is imbeded in the object file on the ptserial.o that doesn't require being forced. I am using 0.9.6 with the stock Mandrake kernel for 9.1. As my temporary solution, I've added the insmod -f to my .bash_profile so it comes up when I log in (actually, I call a script which first does a rmmod for the two modules and then does the insmod -f). I stated in my post that I had the problem with 9.0, but that's not correct, it only began with the 9.1 beta's. I have acpi=off in lilo, but the problem still exists.
The best I can tell is that the ptserial.o has the compiler version imbeded in it and that either insmod or the kernel itself looks for the string. By the time pctel.o is made, even though I've hard coded the compiler version in the make file, it's not in the final object file. I figure this is because there are two assembler files that are combined with the ptmodule.o to produce pctel.o and I don't know how to include the compiler version in them. Of course, I could be totally wrong on that! :) As for the dialer, I'm using kppp and it does work, once I force the modules to load. I'm curious is your pctel version using pct789? That's what mine is and maybe it's just a problem with that one.
