Hi,mandrake linux users and specialists, I encouter difficulty while installing my Ess56PI modem.The Ess2898 chip based internal PCI modem is not that sort of winmodem.It's installed in PCI slot 4 using IRQ 11.It works just well under win98 and win2k. After installing mandrake linux 7.0 ,I login by root and change to modem driver's directory.Then type "sh mdminstall" command under a terminal window to launch the setup script .However the system reports these information on the screen as follows: rmmod :module esscom not loaded /esscom.o:kernel-module version mismatch /esscom.o was compiled for kernel version 2.25-15 while this kernel is version 2.2.14-15 mdk It really seems a paradox.I use "lsmod" to view the moduls resident in RAM,esscom.o is non-existent for sure.Finally I run "modprobe" command to try to load the module manually,but the system says it can't find esscom module whatsoever.I appreciate any hints available by you. My PC hardware configuration:Pentium MMX 233 (oc 262.5,ie 75*3),160 M ram,trident 9750 image PCI video adapter with 4M ram,ST 3.2G hard disk,PCchips brand Ali1531/1533 chipset based motherboard(I don't know its ID),Yamaha 718 ISA soundcard. PNP is diabled in bios.no hardware conflict.By the way the modem occupies com4 under win98 and occupies com3 under win2000.How to explain this thing? Previously I once installed winlinux2000.It can detect the Essmodem but still the same situation presented as above. Thank you anyway.
