After "emerge -b hsfmodem" (from net-dialup/hsfmodem & both with version hsfmodem 7.18.00.02 and 7.18.00.3) I run hsfconfig but it stopped and the /tmp//hsfconfig-buildlog.txt complained: (cd /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build && make "CNXT_KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build" "M=/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules" clean) make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4' rm -rf *.o GPL/*.o *.ko GPL/*.ko *.mod.c GPL/*.mod.c .*.cmd GPL/.*.cmd .tmp_versions /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfosspec.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfserial.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfengine.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfpcibasic2.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfmc97ich.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfmc97via.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfmc97ali.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfmc97ati.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfmc97sis.mod /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build/.tmp_versions/hsfsoar.mod (cd /lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build && make "CNXT_KERNELSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.10-compaq4/build" "M=/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules" modules) make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4' CC [M] /usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/mod_engine.o /bin/sh: line 1: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules/mod_engine.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/lib/hsfmodem/modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4' make: *** [all] Error 2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.hsfconfig 2. 3.

did you compiled /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4 kernel? seems to me you either omitted to run make menuconfig bzImage modules modules_install or erased compilation results with make clean.
Alin: Yes, I compiled /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4 kernel modifying the version line in Makefile (from "=-gentoo-r4" to "=-compaq4") and using "genkernel --menuconfig all". Frankly I can't remember if I erased the compilation results by means of "make clean". Anyway, I'm going right now to re-compile the kernel and try again. I'll let you know the result ASAP
Alin: you were right! I now understand that I had issued the "make clean" command some time ago . I compiled from scratch the kernel and now it all works, i.e. I was able to configure the modem via hsfconfig!
