---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Josh Smith <josh.a.smitty@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 11:46 PM Subject: Re: Josh, Canada, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic To: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> No success yet... Oddly though, upon running the modprobe -r agrmodem command I get this error: josh@Rusty:~$ sudo modprobe -r agrmodem FATAL: Module agrmodem is in use. Although after I run the unloading script it allows me to run the modprobe -r command. I'm not sure how much of the dmesg.txt file you need, I'm guessing this will suffice: [ 57.508000] hda-intel: Invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instead. [ 88.356000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:02.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [ 88.356000] agrsm: created 1 infos [ 88.356000] Loading module Agere Modem Controller driver version 2.1.60.0.Linspire (2005-11-16) [ 94.840000] ttyAGS3 at I/O 0xe800 (irq = 11) is a AgereModem [ 94.840000] agrserial: Loading module Agere Modem Interface driver version 2.1.60.0.Linspire (2005-11-16) If not, I can send the entire file. I also tried your suggestion to change the operating system to "OTHER" in BIOS with no success. Thanks for your time, any more suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
