The kernel is 2.4.8-26mdk, I installed LM 8.1 3 weeks ago so I've not changed or upgraded anything yet. By the way, the modem was a CM8738 not a i810sis, I tried all back from the scratch with this new setting --with-hal=cm8738 but the results are the same. How exactly did you make the driver ptserial.o work and ignore those errors?

[forget name for new io slot] PCtel/DAA, fb daa2, daa2f PCT303L. According to 2 different FAQs (same pctel.o driver different versions), "You need an Elite/SiS mainboard with the CM8738 Audio/Modem ASIC and PCtel Codec/DAA daughterboard. The modem daughterboard has a RJ-11 phone jack to hook up to a phone line. The modem driver autodetects the correct PCI vender and device ID to install the correct interrupt handler." AFAIK all within the minimum hardware requirements for installing the driver properly, so it should not matter, unless i'm missing something. Therefore, making insmod ptserial.o work would be enough to load the modem, now how do i get rid of those errors? Regards Paul
