Robin, scanModem reports that there is an IRQ problem: For candidate card in slot 00:03.1, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are: PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name ---------- --------- --------- -------------- 00:03.1 115d:000c 8086:2408 Serial controller: Xircom Mini-PCI V.90 56k Modem Modem interrupt assignment and sharing: 11: 1010 XT-PIC-XT uhci_hcd:usb1, 164x, eth0 --- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:03.1 ---- PCI: 0000:00:03.1 reg 10 io port: [1840, 1847] PCI: 0000:00:03.1 reg 14 32bit mmio: [f4121000, f4121fff] pci 0000:00:03.1: supports D1 pci 0000:00:03.1: supports D2 pci 0000:00:03.1: PME# supported from D0 D1 D2 D3hot D3cold pci 0000:00:03.1: PME# disabled serial 0000:00:03.1: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 11 serial 0000:00:03.1: sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:03.0 e100 0000:00:03.0: sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:03.1 martian 0000:00:03.1: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 11 martian 0000:00:03.1: sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:03.0 The PCI slot 00:03.1 of the modem card may be disabled early in a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes. Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if help is needed. You may follow the instructions provided here on top or you may try swapping the pci devices on your machine and maybe that can force the IRQ that you want?
