I've just installed SuSE 6.3 on a ox which works OK, including using kppp
to SurfNoLimits. However, I want to use my own kernel rather than SuSE's
default modular one. I'm not exactly a kernel newbie, but this one has me
stumped. Having built the kernel, all is good except the modem. Kppp
claims it's busy, and minicom gets no response from it - it's as if it
wasn't there. The modem's at 0x3E8, IRQ 4 and I've nothing attached to the
serial port at 3F8 so the IRQ shouldn't be a problem - in fact it's
definitely not as the same box running Mandrake 5.3 with kernel 2.2.10 or
SuSE 6.3 with the default kernel or Windoze quite happily uses the modem.
So, what can I have buggered up in the kernel config. to have zapped my
modem ?
Kindest regards,
Niall O Broin
