YNT: [driverloader] U.S.Robotics USR5410, Suse 9.2 and many problems

Tue Jan 4 14:27:38 EST 2005

Hi,

we are not aware of this issue. If you have the Pro version of SuSE, 
please try with a fresh 2.6.10 kernel from http://www.kernel.org to see 
if there is a difference.

If it still doesn't work with the 2.6.10 kernel or you can't install it, 
please send at support at linuxant.com the output of 'dumpdiag'. Type the 
following in a root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp ('driverloaderdiag.txt').

When the system is going to hang, please also check the output of the 
'dmesg' command in a root shell and if you see any suspicious messages 
that might be related to DriverLoader, please also send us these messages.

All this information will help us solve the problem.

Regards,

Jonathan
