John,
Would you mind running scanModem on Puppy so we could determine/deduce
some information?
It would have to be similar to the one you sent sometime ago:
NAME="Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=11c1:048c
SUBSYS=11c1:044c
IRQ=255
IDENT=agrsm
For candidate modem in: 00:0a.0
0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem
Primary device ID: 11c1:048c
Support type needed or chipset: agrsm
Use agrsm-20080203a.tar.gz at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/
Read Modem/DOCs/Agrsm.txt
The thing that makes me wonder is which parameters do you use to boot
puppy, and from USB/CD or installed to hard disk because of the IRQ
issue:
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:
===================================
The modem interrupt (IRQ) is 255 . IRQs of 0 or 255 are not functional!!
The CPU cannot control the modem until this situation is corrected!!
Possible corrections are:
1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a non-PNP/Other
Operating System type.
Instructions for accessing BIOS are at:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within:
Additional Resourcces.
2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line.
Here is an example paragraph from /boot/grub/menu.lst :
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro pci=routeirq
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686
savedefault
2b) Same as above, but use "pollirq" instead of "pci=routeirq".
3) Within some BIOS setups, IRQ assignments can be changed.
4) On non-laptop systems, moving the modem card to another slot has helped.
5) Sometimes upgrading the kernel changes IRQ assignment.
=====================================
Regards,
Antonio
