[hcflinux] /dev/ttySHCF0 does not exist

[Linuxant modem support]

Hi,

which application has trouble finding your modem with Red Hat 9? Can you
please send us the file generated by "hcfpciconfig --dumpdiag" in Red Hat 9?

With Mandrake, you had this message in the output of "dmesg" and this is why
your modem device didn't show up.

0433120.480: HCF: Asic_Configure(ASIC_CFG_BASE_ADDR) failed
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000e4

If possible, you should install the kernel source RPM supplied by Mandrake.
You could then use the generic drivers instead of the pre-compiled drivers.
This would probably solve the problem.

Hi,

> did it work?

I have used the first and second options:

>> Please try to boot your kernel with the option "pci=biosirq" as
suggested.
>> If that doesn't work, you can try playing with the kernel options
"noapic",
>> "acpi=off" and/or "apm=off".

... and don't work.

>> If that doesn't work, you can try to configure and install a generic
kernel
>> with the ACPI patches found on this web site:
>> http://sf.net/projects/acpi

I don´t use this option because I don´t know. I'm no expert, I'm new user of
Linux.

NOTE:
I have installed Red Hat 9 distribution for test purposes only.
/dev/ttySHCF0 exist, but the
modem not found.
