what is your memory situation (cat /proc/meminfo)? Could it be that you are running out of memory?

devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for slamr0 Because of the "devfs" in there I guess you use it. Can you please try with udev? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Migrate_to_UDEV
Sure, I'll try it a little later on, and post my results here.
Setup udev, and same thing. FATAL: Error inserting slamr (/lib/modules/2.6.10-gentoo-r4/extra/slamr.ko): Cannot allocate memory.

try the new version of slmodem (2.9.9b), see if that works
Still the same, very odd. On the good side, it would seem that the Alsa driver coupled with slmodem now works using snd_via82xx_modem which has become available in 2.6.11. This is naturally the better option, no more proprietry kernel modules! As I'm the only person that seems to have reported this issue (even from googling) I would assume this as an isolated case. And as for anyone trying to get their Acer Aspire 1350 series internal modem working, snd_via82xx_modem as found in 2.6.11 and slmodem set to use Alsa should do the trick.
since you found a working scenario, I am closing this as fixed
