[hsflinux] kernel oops on 2.6.28.9

[dma]

Hello all,

While attempting to install the HSF modem driver on a Fedora-based 
2.6.28.9 system, i receive the following output while loading the modules :



[root at test hsfmodem-7.80.02.03full]# hsfconfig
Conexant HSF softmodem driver, version 7.80.02.03full

Warning: no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot

Note: HDA support not compiled in the driver
[root at test hsfmodem-7.80.02.03full]#


The compilation appears to complete successfully, in that the modules 
exist ; however, both at compile time, as well as at boot, the same Oops 
message is displayed.  An lsmod shows that the modules have been loaded 
into memory, and /dev/modem is created as expected, but actual 
communication with the modem is not possible (via minicom, for example).

I am more than happy to provide any other additional output upon 
request.  Thank you for your time and consideration.
