Sounds suspiciously like a Winmodem to me. Hardware modems are usually found immediately (query your modem in kppp after changing the setting from "/dev/modem" to /dev/ttyS0, then /dev/ttyS1, etc. If that doesn't work, consult http://www.linmodems.org for more information. If you do, indeed have a Winmodem (and you are running the 2.6 kernel), my advice is to buy an EXTERNAL SERIAL MODEM (about $25 on e-bay). Even with a supported Linmodem, kernel 2.6 drivers may be iffy, especially if you install a different kernel-version in the future. It ain't worth messing with. Winmodems are designed to use the system resources and require specific drivers to allow them to do so. External SERIAL modems are hardware-based, and stand-alone with no drivers needed. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If its a winmodem you have two choices 1. go to the linuxant page and see if their driver works. If it does pay USD 20 (I think) to get it running at full speed, or (prefereably) 2. get a real modem (probably cheaper than option 1. 2. check out http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Print2Win/x32.html Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

First I will ask, did linux find your modem? The rest I will leave up to those more expert than I am. We will have to know the answer to that one. I have been working for the past week trying to get my winmodem working under linux. Good luck.

Also "2x256 DDR 400 RAM" says practically nothin. Ram labeled pc3200 and DR400 could vary from junk to very good stuff. Vendor, ns speed, and CAS rating would rule here. Junk ram isn't a problem in Windoze, cause M$ doesn't use it very well anyhow. Linux exploits it to it's fullest. MSI, makes good boards, but all i8 chipsets sort'a suck with any real OS, IMO. To mitigate ram problems you can minimize ram timings (ie, increase clock cycles for CAS, precharge and ras/cas, disable banking), and if your MSI/bios supports it, give it a little extra IO voltage, eg, increase from 2.5 to 2.6 or 2.7.

No, smp (symmetrical multi processors) is as it says for dual cpu systems. With 512mb ram and one cpu, you want the 'regular' kernel. HT (hyper threading) AFAIK is still just treated as one cpu. 'cpuinfo' should tell you for sure if I'm right on this. Other than that you probly want the newest kernel you can find, SATA is now only gaining some decent kernel support from all I've read. Are you sure you've got the right driver for the SATA controller? You're probly gonna have to search the web on this issue, or the linux-kernel mailing list archive. I've avoided SATA (ATA/133 is often faster, less cpu dependant anyhow), but maybe someone here or on the expert list who's tryin it can help. I believe that and the wrong kernel are at the heart of your problems. I believe you'd do well to boot to level three (no X) till you get this sorted out. You can do that by usin any one of MCC, editing /etc/inittab, or hit at the lilo screen and typing 'linux init 3'. You can also do that from the 1st CD by pressing at the first screen and typing 'rescue'. After you log in at level three, you can then start your WM with 'startx'. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] SOS mdk v9.2(Download ED.) freezes on boot
Hello mates, First of all you need to know my hardware: Mobo: MSI 865PE Neo2 FIS2R – BIOS v1.4 - build date 18/08/03, CPU: Intel P4 2,8 FSB800 HT (HT is enabled in the BIOS), 2x256 DDR 400 RAM, VGA: MSI FX5900-VTD128 – BIOS v4.35.20.18.04, Hdds: (BIOS setting: native mode; that is 4 IDE channels) Hitachi SATA Deskstar 7K250 - 80GB, IBM “DeathStar” DTLA 307030 (operating in PIO mode only!) Cd-roms: Plextor CDRW and a Pioneer DVD-rom I have a dual-boot system (the other OS is winXP, which boots normally). My problems with mdk 9.2 started very early. During the installation process and right after the mouse configuration and testing screens, my computer freezes. I reset it a couple of times but no progress could be made. Finally, I decided to unplug the “DeathStar”. Voila, the installation process proceeded normally. Now the boot problem…. If I choose the “linux-smp” kernel the system freezes right after the …. Finding modules dependences [OK] >cursor blinks for a second or two here and then freezes. If I plug the IBM’s hdd, the “linux-smp” kernel always freezes when it tries to activate the DMA on that disk… Now my other option is to boot with the standard (non-smp) kernel. This kernel always passes the step of trying to activate the DMA on the IBM’s hdd (without actually succeeding – this is not an issue since even winXP fails, so it’s the hdd that is problematic…). This kernel also manages 3 out of 4 times to start the X-server, but exactly then it freezes the system as well (Grrr!!!) The “failsafe” kernel always boots normally, unless I press ‘Y’ in the HDDs integrity check question…(that is when I haven’t shutdown the system properly). Fsck ALWAYS freezes the system after 35% - 70% completion (Once it managed to check one partition completely, but right after that my computer reboot-itself !!!) I couldn’t find much in the error logs, but one thing might be useful to you: In /var/log/kernel/errors file, whenever I don’t boot with the “failsafe” kernel the following errors appear: Note: “ide” is the Hitachi SATA device. errors: …Kernel: ide: late registration of driver …Kernel: Swsusp 1.0.3: Missing or invalid swap partition location (resume= parameter). Disabled. Swap partition should be valid since I re-installed the OS, reformatting all the partitions in the process… A final note, all the partitions (except swap J) in the ide drive use the ext3-fs. Do you think updating to kernel-smp-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm,will solve my problems ??? Thanks in advance…
