Cristian, the interrupt is disabled I'll try start with pci=routeirq or pollirq then I'll change the modem card to another pci slot. First try pci=routeirq, if it does not work, try swapping the pci modem card to another slot. Any other suggestion? Other than the above, don't know about others? Do I have to uninstall this version and compile the older 2.9.11-2008126? No, you don't have to, but the old version might work better than newer ones which are for newer kernels.
