I've nearly the same config for my FX502, but almost nothing as modules.
(Except for the modem :-)

I don't know this sympton, but it's definitely not good!
Maybe, Marc knows the reason for this error?

There I found:

+ cat /proc/modules
floppy                 45920   0 (autoclean)
parport_pc             25672   1 (autoclean)
lp                      6176   0 (autoclean)
parport                23296   1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp]
autofs4                 8580   5 (autoclean)
serial                 45472   0 (autoclean)
isa-pnp                28680   0 (autoclean) [serial]
rtc                     5592   0 (autoclean)

I would have expected to see the modem modules also listed!
Did you run Debian's modconf, in order to activate the modules?

Helmut
