Hi! It took almost a week, but I have finally physical access to this machine... But it insists not to work...

Just for the records, I did what you said, but I had to avoid loading modules at boot time, so I had to update my initrd, with # update-initramfs -u I have also changed the IRQ options in BIOS; the os selected is non-PnP (and apparently I cannot change that) and tried to set some irqs to reserved I have: $ dmesg | grep -C3 slam [ 12.052537] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 173.14.09 Wed Jun 4 23:43:17 PDT 2008 [ 12.091321] device 1057:3052 is grabbed by driver serial: try to release [ 12.091321] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:01:05.0 disabled [ 12.111141] slamr: SmartLink AMRMO modem.

So, I think have covered every step from Bootup.txt, except 8 (I do not have other distros here) and 9 (I have a 404 for this directory). Should I try newer versions of slamr? I am using the standard from debian lenny... Any other ideas? > I'm traveling today and don't have time for more detail. I hope everything went well ;) Thanks, Tiago.
