There may be resource problems.
Please detach all your USB devices before you reboot, except for the mouse.
You have two modem cards installed.
Please remove the
Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem
Primary device ID: 11c1:048c
Then reboot. The intent is to relieve the:
[ 76.852275] VIA 82xx Modem: probe of 0000:00:11.6 failed with error -13
Rerun
./scanModem
to check. Report back to the List, not me.
