The 8.26_a9 version of ltmodem does not support the 2.6 kernel. There is a new version in the works and I believe a patch exists if you wish to try building it on your own. Official support will be provided by the ltmodem maintainers when 2.6 has a chance to stablilize a bit more. Start looking here if you wish to build your own 2.6 version, note that this is still experimental: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-third/msg00992.html lanius, I recommend changing the current ebuild to require = kernel 2.4 to minimize the bug reports till the new version is released by the ltmodem maintainers. (2.2 kernels need ltmodem 6.0 for which there is no current ebuild, and 2.6 doesn't work out of the box with 8.26_a9) MarvS (an ltmodem maintainer) is working on his build scripts now. I started working with him to ensure it works with gentoo but decided to maintain our own patch to his scripts to ease his burden. He is having a hard time making other distros work properly. I guess we could start working on a ~86 version for 2.6 but I would rather wait a bit more to see if marv gets an official version out.
Things are proceeding... There is a ltmodem-package available for 2.6.x-kernels: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/ltmodem-2.6-alk-v00.tar.gz I tested it with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1 and it works flawlessly. For use with 2.6.0-kernels there is a small modification necessary, I haven't tested that yet - seems obsolete anyway. I'm sure a lot of people would be happy about an experimental ltmodem-2.6-ebuild. If one of the maintainers is interested, I could tell details or do further testing as needed.
-r3 is now in portage with kernel 2.6 support, compiles fine here on 2.6.2-rc2
