Modem detection.

[Kedar Patankar]

Hi,

I remember someone mentioning about dialup modem detection issues. I had the
same problem: my first boot into FC1, kudzu popped up saying my dialup modem
(a plain old external 56kbps modem hooked via DB9 serial cable) has been
"removed". I selected remove config in kudzu. Then I tried to setup dialup
networking through the network device control GUI tool - and it too could
not detect the modem. After putting in the /dev/modem symlink to /dev/ttyS0,
and manually configuring the things in network device config GUI tool, I was
able to get the link up and browse. After rebooting, kudzu again popped up
saying it has "detected" my modem. This is weird.

Other problems I have had are:

1. changed initdefault to 3 (non-X startup), and I could see
	a lot of "modprobe could not locate device block-major-XX-YYY"
	messages during boot.
2. I see an error message printed right after entering interactive setup
	saying /=LABEL partition/file doesn't exist or something. I don't
	know the exact message because it scrolls by too fast.

My machine is a Athlon-2GHz, with VIA KT333 chipset ECS motherboard and
256MB DDR RAM. I have been using this machine with my RH 7.3 setup for a
long time w/o problems.


Regards/Kedar.
