If removing devices doesn't suffice, try shutting off services to classes of devices with: $ sudo gedit /etc/discover.conf Change the lines: ------------- # Default settings: # # Enable the PCI, USB, IDE, and SCSI bus scans: enable pci,usb,ide,scsi # Enable the PCMCIA scan too: enable pcmcia # The ISA bus scan causes problems on some machines, and is slow, # so we might not want to scan these devices: enable isa #disable isa # The parallel and serial scans cause problems on some machines too: disable parallel,serial # Scan for the following types of hardware at boot time: #boot bridge,cdrom,disk,ethernet,ide,scsi,sound,usb,video boot all --------- TO # Default settings: # # Enable the PCI, USB, IDE, and SCSI bus scans: enable pci,ide # Enable the PCMCIA scan too: # enable pcmcia # The ISA bus scan causes problems on some machines, and is slow, # so we might not want to scan these devices: enable isa #disable isa # The parallel and serial scans cause problems on some machines too: disable parallel,serial # Scan for the following types of hardware at boot time: #boot bridge,disk,ide # skipping cdrom, ethernet,scsi,sound,usb,video # boot all Reboot and again test the modem. If all is OK, the services can be added back one-at-a-time. Much narrow choises can be later by adding driver names to a file with: $ sudo /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local # with lines like blacklist ehci_hcd # which only disable some USB ports Merely blacklisted drivers can be manually after bootup with commands like $ sudo modprobe ehci_hcd MarvS On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 6:56 PM, Rocky Rock <xubuntu@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > "with Attatcment" > Marv, > i sent you rocky.txt file in this email. > > All the best. > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> > To: Rocky Rock <xubuntu@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 3:10:44 PM > Subject: Re: Genius GM56PCI-SA PCI modem > > Rocky, > > Don't plain Ubuntu (or any Distro) when using a driver with a Closed > Source component > > RE: "HERE THE COMPUTER always GETS FROZEN!" > To start checking for a resource conflict, do: > $ lsmod >> rocky.txt > $ dmesg >> rocky.txt > and send to the List. > > MarvS > > > > On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 10:13 AM, Rocky Rock <xubuntu@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Hi Marv, >> Yes i did followed all instructions in agrsm_howto.txt.
