Terry,

The short answer is yes.  The long answer is "it depends".  If your BIOS is 
old enough to allow manual setting of IRQ for specific card in specific slot, 
then maybe.  My experience with that kind of BIOS is that it also contains 
some menu option for "regenerate IRQ tree"  If you don't regenerate the tree, 
then probably not.  XP will not be able to auto-config any new hardware without 
PnP OS being enabled though...USB may or may not also be impacted depending 
upon the age of the BIOS.

After reading through a few of these, I think you might want to try booting 
with noacpi and see if your modem can be made to work.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/416207

Are you certain the new header installation actually succeeded.  I'm only 
asking because there seem to be quite a few reports of partial installs.


There are a lot of different changes going on with the kernel.  I believe you 
are currently caught up in the elimination of the acpi packages.  The next 
major kernel rev is in the process of getting rid of HAL.

Read the next piece only if you really want to figure out why things aren't 
working.  It will in no way help you get them working, but it will tell you if 
you are wasting your time.  The discussion will get quite technical, which is 
why I'm warning you ahead of time.

-------------
Search the Web and find a file DIFF utility which will let you compare all of 
the files in one directory against all matching file names in another directory.  
If you felt comfortable with a text editor and shell scripting you could brute 
force such a thing after typing man diff and reading through the help file to 
choose how you want it to work and what you want to display.  The downside is 
that you would have to feed things in one at a time.  If you are familiar with 
cutting and pasting in a text editor, this isn't a mountain of difficulty, just 
time consuming.  

Once you have determined how you want to diff the files you need to find the 
files.


cd /
sudo find -name *2.6.28*

somewhere in the output you will find something which looks like this.

./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-3

You want your "File1" version fed into the diff to come from header directory 
tree of your working kernel version.  You want the "File2" to come from the 
tree of your non-working version.  If you choose to brute force with a hard 
coded shell script, this will be a lot of work.

roland@logikaldesktop:/$ dir /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-6/include
acpi  asm-generic  crypto  drm  Kbuild  keys  linux  math-emu  media  mtd  net  
pcmcia  rdma  rxrpc  scsi  sound  trace  video  xen

Every one of the above directories has a bunch of header files like the 
following.

roland@logikaldesktop:/$ dir /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-6/include/acpi
acexcep.h  acoutput.h  acpi_drivers.h  acpi_numa.h  acpixf.h    actbl1.h  
actypes.h    pdc_intel.h  processor.h  video.h
acnames.h  acpi_bus.h  acpi.h          acpiosxf.h   acrestyp.h  actbl.h   
container.h  platform     reboot.h

Hopefully the method of diff you chose shows the record/line number of each 
difference.  You will need to save the output and take a look at the files which 
had differences in the non-working tree.  I prefer opening the files up with a 
text editor in read-only mode so I would do something like the following:

SciTE "-read.only=1" file.h
cream -R file.h

What a programmer would be looking for is one of the following:
1)  member variable removed from a structure
2)  member variable significantly changing data type

If you encounter either (or both) of these, it means you will not get the 
other stuff to compile without making serious modifications.  In short...if you 
aren't willing to fix the program you are wasting your time.
