Thank you Marvin for your help. That's what I did. No pcmcia and usb hardware attached [root@(none) grub]# ifconfig eth0 down [root@(none) grub]# ifconfig eth1 down [root@(none) grub]# ifconfig eth2 down [root@(none) grub]# modprobe -r 8139too [root@(none) grub]# modprobe -r ipw2100 [root@(none) grub]# modprobe -r uhci_hcd [root@(none) grub]# modprobe -r ehci_hcd [root@(none) grub]# modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m [root@(none) grub]# modprobe snd-intel8x0m [root@(none) grub]# slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa modem:1 error: mixer setup: attach hw:1 error: No such device ALSA lib pcm.c:2014:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM modem:1 definition (id: modem, value: cards.pcm.modem) error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'modem:1': Invalid argument error: cannot setup device `modem:1' You know that when I turn off eth2 (wifi) I got a connection message but after a while it went on again, automagically. This is because I am able to send this email from this computer (wireless network) I am not rebboting Thanks, Daniel On Saturday 17 March 2007 16:41, you wrote: > Daniel, > > Your > Class 0703: 8086:24c6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM > Primary PCI_id 8086:24c6 > Subsystem PCI_id 1025:003d > Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: > from Archives: SIL27, an AgereSystems type > is an AC'97 modem type, so that correct command is: > # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa modem:1 > > However the current blockage is: > --- Bootup diagnositcs for card in PCI slot 00:1f.6 ---- > ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.6[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 10 (level, > low) -> IRQ 10 > ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:1f.6 disabled > > Your modem Intel 82801DB-ICH4 is sharing the interrupt (IRQ) 10 with > functions: uhci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb3, ehci_hcd:usb4, > ohci1394, yenta (PCMCIA driver) , eth0, eth2, i915@pci:0000:00:02.0 > > Your Routine Test (RT) to try during correction trials is unloading & > reloading the modem driver: > # modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m > # modprobe snd-intel8x0m > then the > # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa modem:1 > wherefrom a success report would include port creation: > /dev/ttySL0 ---> /dev/pts/N > with N some number > > Things to try: > 1) Detach/remove all possible USB devices and PCMCIA cards and reboot > into Linux > Shutdown ethernet: > # ifconfig eth0 down > # ifconfig eth1 down > # ifconfig eth2 down > Remove their drivers: > # modprobe -r 8139too > # modprobe -r ipw2100 > the wireless driver > If you don't have a USB mouse: > # modprobe -r uhci_hcd > # modprobe -r ehci_hcd > > With resources thus freed up, try the RT. > > Report back at this point, before proceeding to the bootup options > described in Bootup.txt > > Marv S > > On 3/17/07, Daniel Stonek <daniel@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello Marvin, > > This is what I get, I don't know how to fix it. > > I am attaching some txt files from ./scanModem results. > > Thanks for your help. > > > > > > # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa modem:1 > > error: mixer setup: attach hw:1 error: No such device > > ALSA lib pcm.c:2014:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM modem:1 > > definition (id: modem, value: cards.pcm.modem) > > error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'modem:1': Invalid > > argument error: cannot setup device `modem:1' > > > > # slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa hw:0,6 > > error: mixer setup: Off-hook switch not found for card hw:0 > > error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'hw:0,6': No such file or > > directory > > error: cannot setup device `hw:0,6' > > > > On Friday 16 March 2007 21:25, you wrote: > > > Re: slmodemd -c URUGUAY --alsa hw:0,6 > > > > > > The slmodemd supported modems are in two categories. > > > The newer and increasingly prevalant are HDA (High Definition Audio) > > > controller which can host softmodem subsystems.
