I returned to the alsa package of the distribution. What I recognized is that /proc/asound/version says it is an alsa 1.0.17, but the package names show the version 1.0.18. After resetting everything to the original state I could see a little progress: The complaints about unknown symbols, etc. are gone. The modem drivers are loaded without any problem, but the segfaults remain. [....] >From your description (and the output of dmesg) it seems that your >kernel and modem drivers were built with different versions of gcc... Hm, that's surprising for me. The kernel version info at start-up contains a compiler info, which is identical to the result I get after gcc --version. So, I was assuming that kernel, modules and modem drivers have been made with the same compiler. However, I did a 'make cloneconfig' and compiled kernel and modules with the current compiler again. After installation of the new kernel I rebooted the system. No problems so far. I compiled the modem drivers again, but the behavior didn't change: Loading O.K., accessing the modem results in a segfault. Tested with both types of kernel, with PAE config and with default config. No difference. [...] >Should it still fail, and you are using the stock kernel, please let me >know and I'll forward you the (working) modules I am currently using. That would be great! From the headers of your messages here I saw that you also sent them to my mail address directly. I never received them. This is btw. also valid for the messages I ordered from the list server. I only got the administrative messages so far. If you like I can send you a mail to your address shown here with one of my other mail addresses, which I hope will work. Regards, Claus
