Description masteracid1x 2003-12-21 10:06:39 UTC

I have recreated this situation twice and a friend witnessed it. I am not a Linux n00b, ok so I was about to install alsa and Iwas using the Gentoo Documents on it. I install sound support as module just as it says then I notice it cant find my modem so I did a query and my serial modem which is ttys0 and it couldnt open the modem. So I switch back over to my other OS, Redhat v9 the modem is stil there under ttys0 and it works. So after doing everything I can I give up and reinstall. I asked one of my friends to watch this time because I only did what the instrustions said and enabled nothing but what it said. I so I do it over again and as soon as the kernel is done compiling I tried to see if my modem was there in kppp... it wasnt and this one right after I recompiled the kernel it was gone, last time I didnt notice until I rebooted. So to sum it up everytime I go make sound support asa module I guess it does something to my serial driver sorry I dont have any other devices to test it on, but it works in redhat

oh yeah one more thing I am using the 2.4.2-gaming-r3 kernel and I was in KDE

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Gentoo 
2.Recompile kernel with sound support like alsa says
3.

Actual Results:  
it cant find my modem

Expected Results:  
found it

all my programs seemed to run fine except with the exeption of it not finding my
modem

Can we please have: ``emerge info'', your ALSA version, any relevant ``dmesg'' lines which may appear after loading the ALSA modules, and can you try a gentoo-sources or a vanilla-sources kernel?

Is this still an issue? Is your modem found now? Have you tried a different (newer) kernel?

Four months old with no word. Marking fixed.
