It looks like these errors have nothing to do with the modem
driver. It means that some kernel modules are incompatible with
the kernel image. I think you should reinstall your kernel.

After installation, try running 'modprobe hcfserial' (as root)
You will then hear some clicks coming from the modem's speaker
(at least I do with my modem) and there will be info in 
/var/log/messages about whether the modem was initialised or not:
'tail /var/log/messages'
